London Metropolitan Anniversary Conference:
Teaching and researching in translator training and education
July 12, 2008
Keynote speakers:
Daniel Gile, Mona Baker and Dorothy Kelly
The growth of translation has affected the sector on all levels, not
least the expansion in programmes teaching translation at university
level. Initiatives such as the development of the European Masters in
Translation, the National Occupational Standards in Translation and the
ITI’s continuing professional development programme reflect the
importance of a coherent curriculum and agreed standards and practices
in the teaching and training of translators. This is of equal importance
for Translation Studies as a discipline and the Translation industry as
a profession. But what are the challenges we face, not only in
innovative course design, but also in the profile of those who deliver
academic rigour and satisfy industry requirements?
This conference seeks to bring together academics and professionals
interested in questions and issues such as:
§ Who teaches translation / who ‘should’ teach translation?
§ Who is taught / needs to be taught?
§ Do we teach or train?
§ Where do we teach / who is the appropriate education provider?
§ Curriculum design and innovative developments
§ Examples of good practice
§ Ethics
Contributions on teaching and researching in interpreter training and
education are also welcome
Please send 250 word proposals by January 15, 2008 via email text – no
attachments please – to:
· Dr Nadia Rahab, [log in to unmask] for contributions on
translator training and education
· Danielle D’hayer, [log in to unmask] for contributions on
interpreter training and education
Decisions on accepted proposals will be sent in the second half of March
2008.
