This book was released on 2004 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auf dem Arbeitsmarkt sind heute mehr denn je hohe und höchste Qualität, Effizienz und Flexibilität der Arbeitnehmer gefragt. Das gilt auch für Übersetzer und Dolmetscher. Hochschulen, die Übersetzer- und Dolmetscher ausbilden, haben es sich folglich zur Aufgabe zu machen, diesen Kriterien zu entsprechen, d.h. ihre Programme und Ausbildungsmethoden neuen Forderungen anzupassen. Um aber diesen Anforderungen des Arbeitsmarktes gerecht werden zu können, ist eine regelmässige Zusammenarbeit zwischen Lehre und Praxis unbedingt erforderlich, ein Tatbestand, dem bisher nur sporadisch und punktuell Rechnung getragen wurde. Das CIUTI-Forum hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, eine Plattform für einen konstruktiven Meinungsaustausch zwischen Lehre und Praxis zu schaffen. Die Teilnehmer beleuchten das Profil des Übersetzers von beiden Seiten. Dabei werden auch neue Mittel und Wege des methodologischen Vorgehens in der Ausbildung aufgezeigt, um den neuen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden. Andererseits stellt der Markt hier neue, institutionalisierte Gremien vor, die sich vor einem weltweiten, innovativen Vorgehen in Richtung Zusammenarbeit mit den Hochschulen nicht scheuen.

Book excerpt: Quality assurance has been a major issue in Higher Education discourse during the past decade. Evaluations, accreditations and assessments have almost become standard procedures within the framework of translation studies. This quest for quality has not only to integrate market needs and new market requirements, but also novel strategies in training - whereby training learners and trainers has to be given equal attention. Translation quality has become a key issue in the interlinguistic and intercultural communication market as well as in the translator education environment. It has to be looked upon as a multifaceted issue to which all major players have to contribute: institutes of higher education, labor market and individual translators. Within the framework of the CIUTI FORUM 2008, the speakers emphasized the different aspects of quality from the point of view of the trainer, the professional and the market. This volume tries to highlight all those quality issues from an international, interdisciplinary and multifaceted perspective.

Download or read book Advance Translation as a Means of Improving Source Questionnaire Translatability written by Brita Dorer and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely recognised that optimum translation quality is often difficult to achieve owing to problems in the source text. For large-scale cross-cultural surveys source questionnaires need to be translated into multiple target languages in order to produce comparable data across participating countries and cultures. ‘Advance translations’ have been applied in such surveys to improve the translatability of source questionnaires. The author used a think-aloud study to test the usefulness of advance translation into French and German. The study involved experienced professional questionnaire translators and applied qualitative and quantitative analysis. The study confirmed the usefulness of advance translation, at least for the languages and source texts used.

Download or read book The Position of the German Language in the World written by Ulrich Ammon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Position of the German Language in the World focuses on the global position of German and the factors which work towards sustaining its use and utility for international communication. From the perspective of the global language constellation, the detailed data analysis of this substantial research project depicts German as an example of a second-rank language. The book also provides a model for analysis and description of international languages other than English. It offers a framework for strengthening the position of languages such as Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Spanish and others and for countering exaggerated claims about the global monopoly position of English. This comprehensive handbook of the state of the German language in the world was originally published in 2015 by Walter de Gruyter in German and has been critically acclaimed. Suitable for scholars and researchers of the German language, the handbook shows in detail how intricately and thoroughly German and other second-rank languages are tied up with a great number of societies and how these statistics support or weaken the languages’ functions and maintenance.
Download or read book English as a Lingua Franca written by Stefania Taviano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) has grown considerably in the last decades, and a wide number of issues related to this field have been addressed through a variety of lenses. These range from the changes occurring in spoken English, to the much-debated notion of the native-speaker; from the threat that English represents for minority languages, to the metadiscourse(s) contributing to the myth of English as a language equally accessible to speakers of all nationalities. Adopting different perspectives and positions, the articles in this special issue of The Interpreter and Translator Trainer all demonstrate that ELF poses many challenges to the teaching of translation and that, while there are no simple and ready-made solutions, such challenges need to be taken on board to fill the current gap between translation pedagogy and translation practice. The volume is intended as a starting point to encourage educators to rethink their approach to translation pedagogy by envisaging tools and practices that can contribute to preparing students to become professional translators of ELF and reflective practitioners who are aware of the centrality of translation in the digital age.
Download or read book Professional Interpreting Programmes in China written by Yinying Wang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wang presents the status quo of curriculum development in professional interpreting programmes in China and points to the urgency to devise a curriculum improvement model to ensure the relevance of such programmes against a changing reality. She covers the European experience in interpreter education that China can learn from and discusses opportunities arising from previous examples for China to iterate upon in the context of the broader and more diverse professional reality. The book puts the nature of professional interpreters and, in turn, interpreting programmes, under the concurring lens of curriculum studies and the sociology of professions. Wang identifies eight stakeholders which call for changes in interpreting programmes, and six categories of competence (or sub-competence) which see a progression from undergraduate to graduate and lifelong-learning stage. These serve as curriculum goals and encapsulate the recommended changes in institutional curricula. The conceptualised model is then described with a case study on Chinese-English retour training to show its applicability and relevance in interpreting programmes on the ground. Offering insight for academics, practitioners and trainee interpreting students and of relevance to a broader interpreting community looking to set up or reform interpreting curricula, Wang’s book will help ensure curriculum improvement that is theoretically sound and practically viable.
Download or read book Translation and Comprehensibility written by Karin Maksymski and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects papers presented in the panel “Translation and Comprehensibility” at the EST conference 2013 in Germersheim. In line with the conference topic “Centres and Peripheries”, the papers do not only deal with mainstream topics in translation studies, but with some research “peripheries” as well, such as advance translation or intralingual translation. All papers have in common that they relate translation research to aspects of comprehensibility addressing them from several different perspectives, such as source text defects, quality ensurance during text production, or evaluation of comprehensibility in the target text.

Download or read book CIUTI Forum 2012 written by Martin Forstner and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our current knowledge society, as exemplified in our universities, is booming. The socialization of knowledge production, along with the development of interand transdisciplinary research groupings within traditionally discipline-based teaching institutions is equally increasing, even to the extent, that new terminology is coined to better specify this cross-sector collaboration. One of these new concepts which have emerged within the framework of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity is heterogenic cooperation. This concept describes the bringing together of knowledge from different sources and can be observed mainly when specialists are dependent on skills and knowledge which do not exist within the framework of their own scientific domain. The ultimate result of heterogenic cooperation will enlarge any cooperation by integrating partners from different domains, fostering collaboration in a common project with a homogeneous result. In a nutshell: the pathway from heterogeneity to homogeneity. The proceedings of the CIUTI FORUM 2012 highlight different types of networks leading not only to better practices and academic quality but also to new and innovative partnerships. Such as a solid integration of partners from industry and professional associations as well as from the language services of the United Nations, the European Parliament and the European Commission. This volume also strives to outpace in fine the status of Translation Studies as a hybrid discipline in order to be able to serve other scientific domains as a source of knowhow, skills and competences. This book contains contributions in English, French and German.
Download or read book CIUTI Forum Paris 2005 written by Conférence internationale permanente d'instituts universitaires de traducteurs et interprètes and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notre époque se caractérise d'une part par l'éclatement des domaines économiques, financiers et technologiques et, d'autre part, par une fragmentation culturelle grandissante ayant pour résultat une perception et un maintien plus poussés des différences culturelles. L'accent mis de nos jours sur les aspects culturels conduit bien souvent à des malentendus et empêche de ce fait, dans de nombreux cas, la compréhension qui est sensée être établie. Dans ce contexte, la communication interculturelle prend une importance grandissante et ce, dans quasi tous les domaines. Traducteurs et interprètes peuvent alors pleinement jouer leur rôle de médiateurs dès lors qu'ils possèdent une formation professionnelle et académique adéquate qui doit obligatoirement tenir compte de ces nouvelles données. Dans le cadre du Forum de la CIUTI de 2005, les différents aspects du choc des civilisations, tel que Huntington (1996) l'a décrit, et du rôle des traducteurs et interprètes dans la triade « culture, communication et traduction », sont examinés dans quatre volets différents. Le multiculturalisme en tant que défi à la communication, la diversité culturelle et la paix, ou encore à la mondialisation culturelle avec ses défis et ses perspectives y jouent un rôle prépondérant.

Download or read book Afghan Interpreters Through Western Eyes written by Hilary Footitt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-17 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how endangered local interpreters in Afghanistan were seen through Western eyes in the period from 2014, when the West drew down the bulk of its military forces, to the summer of 2021, when NATO forces withdrew completely. The author examines how these interpreters were understood and represented by Western governments, militaries, agencies, press and lobby organisations, how the understandings changed over time, and to what extent the representations reflect distinct rationales for intervention/historic relationships with Afghanistan, specific immigration and anti-terrorism policies, and notions of citizenship. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of translation and interpreting, history, war studies, and migration studies.
