The global success of the game industry has fostered the development of the game localisation industry, as developers and publishers strive to sell their games in different languages and territories to maximise their return on investment. This, in turn, has been reflected in the increasing demand for trained game localisers who can cope with the different challenges posed by this emerging type of translation and meet the industry’s needs. Based on the long-standing experience of the MA in Audiovisual Translation at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, this paper focuses on pedagogical issues concerning the training of game translators and, specifically, training them online, taking into consideration the specificities of distance education. After briefly presenting an overview of this MA and its online modality, the paper shifts to the teaching of game localisation, focusing on translation competence and curricular design, describing the tasks that students are asked to do. Special emphasis is placed on the teaching resources and tools used to provide a collaborative learning experience to distance education students that prepares them to embark on a career in this fast-paced and technologically-driven industry.","PeriodicalId":45693,"journal":{"name":"Interpreter and Translator Trainer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1750399X.2021.1880306","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41603943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the growing demand for this audiovisual translation (AVT) practice, a need has arisen to train professionals in the area. As a result, AD courses have sprung up, both in the form of university courses and professional in-house training. In this article we present a snapshot of the current AD training practices that were reviewed as part the ADLAB PRO project. We report on the results of a survey conducted among 86 AD trainers, involved in the delivery of a total of 192 courses. We first present some general information about the courses and the trainers, and then compare academic and non-academic courses vis-à-vis taught skills, conducted activities as well as competences and transferable skills that are deemed important. The results show that both course types are very practical and do not differ significantly. The only two statistically significant differences encountered were the group size and the importance of vocal skills. IT-related skills, such as using special software, were not prioritised in either of the two types of courses.","PeriodicalId":45693,"journal":{"name":"Interpreter and Translator Trainer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1750399X.2021.1880263","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48245063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of new digital technologies has led to the emergence of internet communities of non-professional translators who subtitle popular TV series and films using freeware and sharing their collective intelligence. This article describes a teaching project which investigates the potential benefits of integrating activities inspired by non-professional subtitling into a formal teaching context. Making the most of their knowledge as fans as well as of their linguistic skills and socio-cultural awareness, students work in teams to produce interlingual subtitles for different episodes from a variety of TV series, including comedy, medical drama, crime and science fiction. Such collaborative approach, based on a social constructivist view of translator training, has important pedagogical implications for areas such as translator competence, student motivation and learner autonomy.","PeriodicalId":45693,"journal":{"name":"Interpreter and Translator Trainer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1750399X.2021.1880307","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45553784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carol Chapelle, the leading authority on the evaluation of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) tools, wrote in 2008: ‘Evaluation of innovation is perhaps the most significant challenge teachers and curriculum developers face when attempting to introduce innovation into language education’. This applies to innovative tools in interpreter training. Using the example of the set of interpreter training online resources, developed by the European ORCIT (Online Resources for Conference Interpreter Training) project, this paper discusses the popularity and perceived usefulness of such resources as measured by the combined analysis of online evaluation questionnaire responses and resource access tracking data. Qualitative, survey-based, evaluation or quantitative Google Analytics data can present a fairly accurate popularity rating of a learning tool and are widely used to test the appeal of technology among learners. Yet these two methods do not reflect the objective effectiveness of online resources on learners’ progress. Therefore, a set of relevant parameters of the Holistic TEL Evaluation Framework is also discussed together with a methodological framework for the evaluation of ORCIT’s impact on learner gain.","PeriodicalId":45693,"journal":{"name":"Interpreter and Translator Trainer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1750399X.2020.1867407","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48412002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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 data obtained from students’ responses to the inventory, think-aloud protocols (TAPs), post-task interviews, and translation products assessments were analysed for triangulation purposes. The results show that an MSRI can be used as an effective tool for translator self-training. Specifically, repeated practice with the inventory in students’ self-training processes can effectively increase their awareness of metacognitive self-regulation by diagnosing their strengths and weaknesses, assist them to transform declarative knowledge into procedural knowledge, promote top-down processing mode, and eventually influence the balance of their patterns of metacognitive self-regulation. Furthermore, the strengthening of metacognitive self-regulation encourages students to pay more attention to the communicative function of the translation, and ultimately enhances their translation quality, particularly in the aspects of clarity, vocabulary, morphosyntax, genre conventions, and translation’s purpose and target audience.","PeriodicalId":45693,"journal":{"name":"Interpreter and Translator Trainer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1750399X.2020.1844436","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42332565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research design encapsulated two projects. An initial project, a nation-wide survey, provided an overview of the situation in Turkey in relation to ergonomics of translation. The second project, conducted within the framework of a course designed to build ergonomic awareness, was a multi-method action research project involving interviews, direct observations and project-based learning. In the first phase of the project, the 20 senior students enrolled in the course administered a survey to 250 translators as part of a field research project, also involving semi-structured interviews during workplace visits. In the second phase, students completed a translation project, simulating a real market situation and exposing them to the challenges of organisational ergonomics. Our study highlights a lack of common standards and awareness in the field of ergonomics in Turkey. It revealed that students’ reports reflected clear benefits from direct interactions with the market actors and the observation of ergonomic conditions in the field. The insights from such a course can equip students with the knowledge and skills required for professional life.","PeriodicalId":45693,"journal":{"name":"Interpreter and Translator Trainer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1750399x.2020.1843123","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42195819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
