Tackling the Plurilingual Student/Monolingual Classroom Phenomenon
For translation‐based activities to prove effective and shake off the negative connotations linked to this practice, they should be informed, authentic, and collaborative. The translation‐based project presented above has aimed to cover these three requirements as follows:\n\nDesigning multi‐competence and multi‐skill activities, tasks, and projects.\nWorking on authentic materials to be shared with a wide audience besides the teacher.\nEncouragi…
Translating as Translanguaging in Additional Language Learning
Effects of Specific Training on the Ability to Deal with Cultural References in Translation
The aim of this empirical study (carried out as part of a wider research project - see "Credits" below) was to discover the effects of specifically designed pre-service translator training on the trainees' ability to deal with cultural references, a text segment type which is widely considered as potentially problematic for the translator.1 Specifically, we set out to discover any significant differences, as a result of said training, in trainees…
A Problem-Solving and Student-Centred Approach to the Translation of Cultural References
Exploring possible answers to questions such as "Can we translate a cultural reference?" or even "What is a cultural reference?" is a highly relevant issue for translation students.1 These are matters that have been addressed by academics and full time translators alike, and no final or definite solutions have been found to the problems generated by the uncertainties, just as there are no final or definitive definitions of the concept of culture …
Training in the Application of Translation Strategies for Undergraduate Scientific Translation Students
A research project2 was recently carried out consisting of the following stages: 1. Finding out what was previously known or hypothesised about the role of strategies in the translation process by reviewing the relevant literature. 2. Deciding on an operative definition of translation strategies. 3. Selecting 3 types of problems to give experimental training in the application of strategies to solve them. 4. Designing a theoretically optimal cour…
