Svahn, Elin – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2021
This article reports on a longitudinal focus group study of two groups of translation students aimed at investigating their socialisation into the translation profession. The students followed the same MA programme in Translation Studies at a Swedish university but worked with different source languages (SL): Japanese and English. The focus group…

Rossella Latorraca – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2024
In the growing market of the translation industry, where 90% of the global output consists of specialised translation, the acquisition of familiarity with different specialised genres is critical for translation trainees to confidently prepare for their future professional challenges. Not only do professionals report dealing with a high diversity…

Loboda, Krzysztof; Mastela, Olga – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2023
Mass adoption of neural machine translation (NMT) tools in the translation workflow has exerted a significant impact on the language services industry over the last decade. There are claims that with the advent of NMT, automated translation has reached human parity for translating news (see, e.g. Popel et al. 2020). Moreover, some machine…

Öner Bulut, Senem; Alimen, Nilüfer – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2023
Motivated by the urgent need to investigate the possibilities for re-positioning the human translator and his/her educator in the machine translation (MT) age, this article explores the dynamics of the human-machine dance in the translation classroom. The article discusses the results of a collaborative learning experiment which was conducted in…

As the final phase of the translation process, self-revision has traditionally been a relatively neglected component despite it being widely acknowledged as critical to achieving high-quality translation and in translator training. To identify effective educational interventions for self-revision, the current paper reports on a study that…

Scocchera, Giovanna – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2020
Drawing from research on revision competence and revision didactics, and based on the proposal of a multi-component revision competence model, a short-term revision course was offered in 2015 as part of a Specialized Translation module. During the course, students were also involved in an experimental study whose overall aim was to investigate the…

Vottonen, Erja; Kujamäki, Minna – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2021
This paper reports on an empirical experiment in which a group of MA student translators justified their translation solutions. The aim of the work was to determine to what extent students rely on their theoretical knowledge of translation in their justifications and use the metalanguage of the field. The data consists of transcribed…

Braun, Sabine; Davitti, Elena; Slater, Catherine – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2020
We report on a study evaluating the educational opportunities that highly multimodal and interactive Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) provide for collaborative learning in the context of interpreter education. The study was prompted by previous research into the use of VLEs in interpreter education, which showed positive results but which…

Hu, Zhenming; Zheng, Binghan; Wang, Xiangling – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2021
The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of repeated use of a metacognitive self-regulation inventory (MSRI) in translator self-training. Designed by the researchers, the MSRI includes the cognitive management strategies of planning, monitoring and evaluation. A pre-post comparison study was conducted with two groups of students. The…

Xu, Yi – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2023
The research on interpreting aptitude has focused on the abilities, skills and personal traits of individuals in order to predict their future interpreting performance. However, an important variable between the personal characteristics and success of trainee interpreters in interpreter training, which is instructional practices, is overlooked.…

K. Pokorn, Nike; Blake, Jason; Reindl, Donald; Pisanski Peterlin, Agnes – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2020
The article attempts to determine whether translation errors (in particular semantic and stylistic ones) in translator-training settings are predominantly the result of translation directionality, i.e. of the fact that the student translators are translating into their L2 and that their language competence in L2 is not as strong as in their L1, or…

Exploring Self-Efficacy Beliefs in Symbiotic Collaboration with Students: An Action Research Project
Haro-Soler, Maria del Mar; Kiraly, Don – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2019
This paper presents a participatory action research project in which teacher-researchers, student-researchers and student-subjects collaborated on a research project in a working-group format to investigate constructs related to the translator's psychological 'self'. The pedagogical approach adopted for managing the working group, based on social…

Hagemann, Susanne – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2019
Directionality has seldom been discussed with regard to the profiles of translation teachers. At German universities, the target language is usually the teacher's A language. By contrast, in countries whose languages are less widely spoken, it is more common for teachers to work into their B language along with their students. However, A-B…

Liu, Xin; Hale, Sandra – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2018
Courtroom interpreting requires a high level of accuracy due to the strategic use of language in such an institutional setting. It is generally agreed among interpreting scholars that quality interpreting in court should accurately relay both propositional content and illocutionary force of the original utterances. This high standard of accuracy…
