IATIS Regional Workshop – Western Balkans
Translator and Interpreter Training
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad
25-26 September 2014
The main focus of this two day conference is translator and interpreter academic education and professional training. There are several areas which are of importance for this region. The trends that need to be addressed in training but are insufficiently present in current educational programmes, include: a) Field/domain specialization; b) Technical skills (including pre-/post-editing of MT); c) Revision skills; d) Management skills (soft skills); e) Standards of compliance (especially through teamwork); f) Translation Ethics; and g) Translator’s in/visibility.
There is also a perceived need to include modules in translation curricula that consolidate different functional styles and registers of the students’ mother tongue. Training in translation into B language is also very relevant, especially for this part of Europe since such translations have a good market-share.
Another very important issue is to instill pride in the profession by establishing proper accreditation and recognition models.
Therefore, we would like to invite papers exploring any of the following sub-themes:
Translation and Interpreting Curricula
Technology Literacy in Translation
Professional Accreditation and Recognition of Translators
Assessment in Translation and Interpreting for Pedagogical Purposes
Current Trends in Translation and Interpreting Training: Methodology, Materials and Internship
Training in Professional Settings
Challenges and Prospects in Translation and Interpreting Studies
Translation Ethics
Editing and Revision Procedures: Current and Best Practice
Training in Soft Skills
Training for Translation into Language B
Keynote Speakers:
• Mona Baker (University of Manchester, UK)
• Nataša Pavlović (University of Zagreb, Croatia)
• Anca Greere (University of Cluj, Romania)
Papers accepted for the parallel sessions will be allocated 30 minutes in the program, which includes 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions/discussion.
Proposals for workshops of one and a half hour will also be considered.
