Towards Authentic Experiential Learning in Translator Education (2nd Edition)
This volume brings together the voices of a number of translation and interpreting scholars and educators representing several different cultures and language combinations, in order to present their views on, and experiences with, authentic experiential learning in professional translation and interpreting programmes. Readers who happen to be translator educators and who have not yet explored the possibility of incorporating authentic experiential learning into their teaching will be encouraged by this short collection of chapters to consider, or reconsider, this pedagogical option. In addition, the volume will inspire new and up-and-coming translator educators to reflect on their own understandings of what it means to know, to learn and to teach as they set out to educate translators competently and wisely in this still-new millennium. Finally, it also provides a context and justification for experiential learning on the wider canvas of teacher development and organizational learning. This second edition includes two new chapters (Chapters 10 and 11) and updated versions of many other chapters from the first edition.
The Cop and the Sociologist
Drawing on the sociology of Max Weber, Barbara Thériault investigates today's relations toward difference within German police forces. Accompanying and interviewing police officers whose job it is to contribute to the acknowledgement of difference, the sociologist outlines three ideal types of actors – an empathetic, a principled, and an opportunist one – and the motives underlying their actions. A fourth type, the specialist, is conspicuously absent. Why is that so? Solving this enigma helps depicting the relations to difference within police forces: it points to a specific »spirit« of diversity and a singular way to apprehend the individual in Germany.

This volume deals with the theory and practice of incorporating authentic experiential work into curricula for the education of professional translators and interpreters.

Matters of educational philosophy, curriculum design as well as instructional design are dealt with, and the wide range of focal points and perspectives of the various authors provides a multi-facetted view of authentic project work that has so far been lacking in translation pedagogy literature.

Interkulturelle Kompetenz
Der Begriff 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' entstand Anfang der 1990er Jahre im Zusammenhang mit der Frage, wie die Herausforderungen von Globalisierung und Multikulturalisierung der Gesellschaft auf der individuellen Handlungsebene bewältigt werden können. Heute ist der Begriff 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' alltäglich geworden; erfolgreich und angemessen mit Menschen umgehen zu können, die kulturell unterunterschiedlich orientiert sind, ist in allen Bereichen des privaten, öffentlichen und beruflichen Lebens eine nachgefragte Fähigkeit. In den Wissenschaften ist 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' dagegen ein umstrittenes Konstrukt. Die Diskrepanz zwischen praktischer Relevanz und theoretischer Fra...
