Current Trends in Translation Teaching and Learning, Volume III

This is the third volume of Current Trends in Translation Teaching and Learning. The goal is to present a forum for publishing up-todate articles focusing on translation education. Online collaboration between scholars interested in this theme makes the publication of such a volume possible. This volume has been in the making for the past year and puts forward articles that focus on many of the current themes in translation teaching and learning. The first article in this volume by Leena Aarikka-Stenroos addresses building business know-how in translation studies. Sight translation and process oriented approaches are dealt with in the article by Erik Angelone. Conference interpretation for humanitarian purposes is dealt with by Maria Brander de la Iglesia. María-Dolores Olvera-Lobo and Juncal Gutiérrez-Artacho discuss evaluating teaching and learning processes in translation. Marta Arumí Ribas addresses portfolio assessment on interpreter training while Ljuba Tarvi’s article takes on a more theoretical approach to Translation Studies. It is hoped that this volume as well as volumes I and II in this series are useful in helping both novice and expert translators evaluate and improve translation education. In Helsinki, first and second year translation students use the articles from these publications as the themes their presentations in communications courses. Students choose an article and present it adding their own perspectives to the material provided and then discuss the topic. This helps them develop both as translators and reflect on the process of learning to be translators. Perhaps other Translation Studies programs could use a similar approach. After a double blind review process, selected papers were published in this volume. There is also a companion website located at: http://www.cttl.org/index.html.
