workshop description

The Center for Research and Innovation in Translation and Translation Technology (CRITT) at CBS and the MTI Education Center, SFL at Renmin University China (RUC), Beijing are offering an advanced workshop in Translation Process Research (TPR) from Monday October 24 to Friday October 28, 2016. The workshop will focus on theoretical aspects of translation process research, on experimental research design and methodology, on human translation modelling, qualitative and quantitative data analysis and translation process data visualization. The workshop will also feature additional sessions in writing research. There will be an opportunity to get hands-on experience with recording keystroke and eye-tracking data as well as with the newest version of the Translation Process Research Database (TPR-DB). We welcome, in particular, PHD students, post-doctorate students, and young teachers or researchers interested in translation and translation process research. Participants are encouraged to discuss their research with each other and the lecturers and to explore possibilities that the TPR-DB offers to support their own research.

The workshop components will be taught by leading researchers in the respective fields. The mornings will be devoted to lectures, discussions and demo sessions, while the afternoon sessions will include participant presentations, hands-on sessions and consultation with the lecturers. Participants will learn how to prepare, run and analyze Translog-II and Inputlog 7 experiments using the methods taught during the workshop. The lectures will be taught in English.

The workshop will be followed by a one-day conference on Saturday October 29. The Conference offers the possibility for participants to share their experience and expertise in translation related topics. Workshop participants are encouraged to submit an abstract to the conference. Please see further instructions in Chinese at: http://fl.ruc.edu.cn/
