Call for Papers - Special Issue of Terminology
Teaching and Learning Terminology: new strategies and methods
DEADLINE (full article): June 10th 2008
Introduction
Terminology is part of the programmes of several university degree and
postgraduate courses (Translating and Interpreting, Applied Languages,
Information Science). In addition, apart from the official university
programmes there are a number of specialist training courses on Terminology
focused on different applications, such as teaching languages for special
purposes, language technology and knowledge engineering. Besides, the usage
of terminology in specialist subject areas also makes lecturers of such
studies (Biology, Physics, Health Sciences, Engineering) think about the
ways that their students should acquire this specialised vocabulary.
In this special issue, we attempt to present and reflect on experiences
dealing with Terminology training, from the theoretical, practical and
professional perspectives. Specially, terminology practice has changed
drastically over the years and training in terminology must adapt to this
new reality. We believe that now, after a number of years teaching this
subject in different degrees and in diverse ways, it is time to consider
what should be taught about Terminology, how to teach it, how is it learned,
what experiences have been put into practice and how did they work, and how
to connect what is taught in universities and other institutions with the
practise required from professionals of different areas (translators,
information scientists, knowledge engineers), with respect to their
knowledge of Terminology.
Topics of the issue
Contributions from authors are expected to report about their training
experiences dealing with one or more of the following issues of higher
education:
- analysis of the training requirements in terminology depending on
the professional profile and on the subject area
- objectives sought when planning the teaching program, and obtained
or expected results depending on the professional profile, competences that
must be acquired by the students
- teaching/learning methodology of theoretical and practical contents
of Terminology, in terms of the tasks and exercises performed by the
students, lectures versus virtual learning models, or assessment methods
- designing and organising contents and competences of the curriculum
dealing with the different applications of Terminology, Terminology as a
component of the curriculum in the context of a larger training framework
(programmes, special courses, etc.)
- aim of terminology training, the role and the profile of the
terminologist in the current society, other professional environments in
which the command of terminology is required
- latest tendencies in terminology training, educative innovation
experiences, lecturers' classroom experiences, learning experiences in
virtual environments, adding new contents to the curriculum
- Terminology as a subject in different programmes and countries, the
profile of the lecturer responsible for terminology training
- computer tools and resources used in the classroom, ways of using
them
Papers must clearly show the links between the didactic aspects and the
objectives and contents of Terminology, its applications or the professional
profile. Papers in which Terminology is just a complement of a more general
didactic methodology will not be accepted, unless they show a relevant
innovation of this general methodology.
Submissions
Papers should be written with Word and comprise between 20-30 pages. More
information on formatting requirements can be found on the John Benjamins
website (http://www.benjamins.com). English is recommended but submissions
in French, German or Spanish will be considered.
Please send submissions to Amparo Alcina: (alcina(at)trad.uji.es). Each issue
of Terminology contains six articles.
