Abstract

This volume brings together interdisciplinary pedagogical proposals that promote student autonomy in the fields of translator training, applied linguistics and translation technologies. Each of these proposals presents a cross-disciplinary view of education, as can be seen in the variety of approaches and the special emphasis on procedures and tools that enhance student autonomy. This volume includes various proposals for using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in translation and foreign language classrooms for knowledge construction and student-centred learning. The articles have been grouped into four overarching categories: Syllabus design and assessment: learner autonomy and collaborative learning; Cross-curricular and integrated skills; Online and blended learning; Digital tools in translator training.
