Granada, Spain: 27 June –8 July 2022

The Doctoral and Teacher-Training Translation Studies Summer School (DOTTSS) is a joint initiative of 5 different universities: University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Turku (Finland), University of Tampere (Finland), University of Granada (Spain) and Boğaziçi University (Turkey). Since 2012 the summer school has hosted doctoral students of TS and teachers of translators and interpreters from all around the world. The first two schools were held in Piran, Slovenia (Emuni 2012, Stridon 2013), the third was in Granada, Spain (Ibn Tibbon 2014), the fourth in Turku, Finland (Agricola 2015), the fifth in Piran, Slovenia (Stridon 2016), the sixth in Granada, Spain (Ibn Tibbon 2017), the seventh in Tampere, Finland (DOTTSS 2018), the eighth in Ljubljana (Stridon 2019), the ninth online from Istanbul (Bosphorus 2021) and tenth edition will be held in Granada (Ibn Tibbon 2022). The name of the school in Granada pays homage to one of the greatest translators of the Western world, Ibn Tibbon, a native of Granada from arguably the most important Jewish family of translators, who undertook the translation into Hebrew of ethical and philosophical works written in Arabic by Jewish scholars from Spain.


2022 GUEST LECTURER
Prof. Dr  Maria González-Davies, FPCEE-Blanquerna, University Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain

TOPIC:  RESEARCH PATHWAYS IN TRANSLATION TRAINING AND BEYOND: A COLLABORATIVE AND SITUATED APPROACH

The sessions are designed to meet the needs of researchers and instructors who are interested in collaborative and situated models of learning and teaching and who wish to acquire a more solid foundation in innovative pedagogical and didactic theory and skills. The program will offer both intensive instruction and a forum for constructive dialogue as the curriculum includes reflection around the main pedagogical approaches and best situated practices in translator and interpreter training. Along with a survey of pedagogical principles, the participants will be provided with numerous opportunities to collaboratively develop their research and discuss their own teaching practices following the instructional framework presented by Richards and Rodgers (1986/2014): approach, design, and procedures. Finally, a session will be devoted to exploring the role of translation as described in well-informed plurilingual approaches to language learning.
