Development of an Enquiry-Based Learning Approach for Training Translators in the Commercial Domain
The project will develop a new EBL component for the delivery of the course unit Commercial Translation on the MA in Translation Studies. EBL materials will be developed with the aim of engaging students directly with the professional translation environment through completion of a real-life translation project. Following an initial briefing from an experienced translator/translation project manager and a briefing on EBL, the student group will assume the various roles which might figure in a professional enterprise, e.g. translation project manager, translation technologist, terminology researcher, translator and reviser. They will complete the translation task, as a group, recording and reflecting upon their experiences as they proceed.
