2019 International Conference on Translation Education
About the Conference
Following the tradition started from the inaugural 2014 International Conference on Translation Education (ICTE 2014, Hong Kong), the 2019 Conference (ICTE 2019, Shenzhen) similarly covers both written translation and oral interpreting, as well as both conventional classroom teaching and web-based online mode of translator training. The Conference continues to provide a unique forum for translation educators and practitioners, language experts, language programme designers, software developers, publishers and translation and education service providers to engage in a 2-day discussion on the following sub-themes:
1) The significance of computer-aided, corpus-based modes of teaching for translation studies and translation pedagogy with a view to developing learners’ bilingual proficiency and professional competence;
2) The relationship between design, construction and implementation of computer-aided teaching programmes and their pedagogical efficiency in both classroom and online teaching of translation;
3) The advantages and disadvantages of CAT (computer-aided translation) learning in real educational settings;
4) Possibilities of increasing learners’ confidence in using CAT tools by way of CATT (computer-aided translator training); and
5) New trends in the development of computer-aided, corpus-supported approaches to translation studies and translator training.
The conference consists of keynote speeches, parallel sessions and a round-table discussion.

New Ideas and Developments in Translator/Interpreter Training
Theoretical Perspectives on CAT and CATT
