Download or read book Metacognitive Translator Training written by Paulina Pietrzak and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores new developments and objectives in translator education, with a focus on metacognitive aspects of both translating and learning to become a translator. The author reports on an exploratory study on translation graduates with particular attention to the effects of metacognitive awareness on their professional development. The data collected show that, despite the growing demand on translation services and advancement of translation technology, there are still a great number of translation graduates who decide not to become professional translators. The findings show a number of reasons why they choose different career paths and discuss the correlations between their self-concept and their professional development, as reflected in their academic performance, career choice, career paths, job satisfaction and perceived success. The book will appeal to teachers, trainers and academics in the field of translation studies, and more specifically translation as a profession and translator competence.

Download or read book Hybrid Workflows in Translation written by Michał Kornacki and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-09 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise volume serves as a valuable resource on understanding the integration and impact of generative AI (GenAI) and evolving technologies on translation workflows. As translation technologies continue to evolve rapidly, translation scholars and practicing translators need to address the challenges of how best to factor AI-enhanced tools into their practices and in translator training programs. The book covers a range of AI applications, including AI-powered features within Translation Management Systems, AI-based machine translation, AI-assisted translation, language generation modules and language checking tools. The volume puts the focus on using AI in translation responsibly and effectively, but also on ways to support students and practitioners in their professional development through easing technological anxieties and building digital resilience. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners in translation and interpreting studies, as well as key stakeholders in the language services industry.

Download or read book The Psychology of Translation written by Séverine Hubscher-Davidson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on work from scholars in both psychology and translation studies, this collection offers new perspectives on what Holmes (1972) called ‘translation psychology’. This interdisciplinary volume brings together contributions addressing translation from the vantage point of different applied branches of psychology, including critical-developmental psychology, occupational psychology, and forensic psychology. Current theoretical and methodological practices in these areas have the potential to strengthen and diversify how translators’ decision-making and problem-solving behaviours are understood, but many sub-branches of psychology have lacked visibility so far in the translation studies literature. The Psychology of Translation: An Interdisciplinary Approach therefore seeks to expand our understanding of translator behaviour by bringing to the fore new schools of thought and conceptualisations. Some chapters report on empirical studies, while others provide a review of research in a particular area of psychology of relevance to translation and translators. Written by a range of leading figures and authorities in psychology and translation, it offers unique contributions that can enrich translation process research and provide a means of encouraging further development in the area of translation psychology. This book will be of interest to scholars working at the intersection of translation and psychology, in such fields as translation studies, affective science, narrative psychology, and work psychology, amongst other areas. It will be of particular interest to researchers and postgraduate students in translation studies.

Download or read book Training for Doctoral Research written by J IAN Mason and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-01-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the rapid expansion of translation studies as an emergent (inter-)discipline over recent decades, demand for doctoral research opportunities is now growing fast in many countries. At the same time, doctoral training packages of a generic nature have been elaborated and refined at many universities, drawing on long traditions of doctoral research in established disciplines. A degree of consensus no doubt exists on such matters as the need for rigor, method and the generation of new knowledge. Beyond that, however, there are a host of issues specific to translation and interpreting studies that remain under-researched and under-discussed. Contributors to this special issue encourage reflection on a range of issues in ways that foster further debate and collaboration on the development of doctoral studies within the field. A number of concrete proposals are offered that could be adapted to local situations in different countries and academic settings. While some of the contributions adopt a mainly empirical stance, others adopt a broad perspective on training, citing examples of widely differing projects. Two contributors offer insights from personal experience of doctoral study while another describes the organization of doctoral work within the conceptual framework of a research group. All consider training from the angle of student needs and offer concrete suggestions for ensuring that doctoral candidates are equipped with the guidance, concepts, methods and tools required for success.
