Toward pedagogy of translation for life-long learning An educational case study in Taiwan By Evelyn Chang 2009-2013

What’s going on? Rapid change in the job market Degree inflation Increasing numbers in the T/I (Translation and Interpreting) courses and programs

What’s going on (in Spain)? Around 7,000 T/I students graduate from 27 universities in Spain each year This exceeds market demand *Pym (2002)

What’s going on (in Taiwan)? Many students study translation and interpreting in a language-related department 62 English-related departments and 35 non-English related departments provide translation and interpreting courses *Zhou, 2004

What’s in students’ mind? Students choose to study T/I for: *汝明麗 編譯論叢 第七卷第一期 T/I Enhancing their competitiveness Boosting their language competence

What’s in my mind? Can teaching translation extend beyond ‘producing translators’? If yes, how am I going to achieve it? How do I know that I have achieved it?

Why educational orientation? Reflective professionals resourseful aware Bernardini, 2004

Research questions For training purpose: how do beginners of translation become less constrained by the influence of the source language? For educational purpose: in what way does my pedagogical intervention serve to help students become life-long learners ?

Research design Action research: two stages Qualitative +quantitative data Primary data collection in stage two: 1. students’ learning journals 2. my field notes 3. pre- and post-tests 4. students’ portfolios 5. course evaluations

Research context An English Department in Taiwan Introduction to professional translation: theory and practice Participants: 3rd year undergraduates, no prior translation training Stage 1: 34 participants Stage 2: 30 participants

Translation pedagogy: Key elements WHY What to teach? How to teach? To whom? How to assess?

My translation pedagogy Learner-centred approach Translator’s Competences as teaching content Portfolio as main assessment

Objectives of my teaching Training -- students’ perceptions of translation demonstrate a shift from that which is static and linguistic to that which is functional and dynamic Education -- increasing self-confidence -- capacity of reflective thinking

What did I discover ? Students learning curve is cyclic.

What did I discover? Making source language interference explicitly as key learning obstacle right from the start. eve

What did I discover? Peer-editing is a powerful tool.

What did I discover? To facilitate students’ re-orientation to the learner-centered approach, scaffolding is essential.

Contemplation… Did I manage to kill two birds with one stone? The necessity of creating connections in the classroom context.
