La importancia de la investigación colaborativa en la pedagogía de la traducción

Abstract

In the last twenty years authors like Delisle (1988) and Kiraly (2000) have made evident the lack of agreement concerning the methodologies used to teach practical translation courses. In this presentation we, first, revise the concept of community in translation studies. Second, we echo the criticisms of Delisle on the lack of innovation in the teaching of practical translation courses. And finally, we share two examples of the kind of research that could take place in translation classes and in translation programs to promote collaborative research projects. This should be a way to insist on the importance of the classroom as the place to produce the kind of empirical data that could provide the grounds for a translation teaching methodology.
