eCPD Webinars (English)
We welcome you to watch another TranslAcademy webinar on recording. Traditionally we aimed to discover translators’ and interpreters’ world’s best training practices.
This time both the format and the school was unusual. Our guest was not an academic school of translation and interpreting. We talked with the initiator of the company, which for many years has been filling up the gaps in the academic training of translators’ and interpreters’. Our speaker was Lucinda Brooks, a director of eCPD webinars.
Despite the changes in the format the webinar mission was to get the answers to the questions:
Why? Platform mission and goals. Trainee profile.
Who? Staff peculiarities. Mentoring vs. Coaching: suitable balance.
Whom? The assessment of trainees.
What? Interpreting/translation. Literary/Industry translation.
How? Approaches. Best practices from the experts. Tips and takeaways for translation industry representatives to improve one’s skills.
And most important: WHAT IS MISSING in the academic translation schools training to produce really trained translators and interpreters.
The webinar includes presentation by the speaker as well as questions from the participants.
