Increased attention to professionalism and realism in translation classes at university has resulted in the development of a wide range of approaches to foster future translators’ construction of knowledge and identity pertaining to their upcoming professional career and community. This paper centres on a professionalizing seminar that shared these aims. Employing corpus, stance and discourse analysis, it examines the retrospective reports written by the future translators who participated in the seminar to unveil beliefs on their experience of the seminar, their university training, their perceived competence, and their present and future identities as translators. The results of the study suggest, on the one hand, that participants perceived that the seminar fostered awareness of the professional domain of translators, heightened cognizance of their skills, and gave them authentic practice as translators and, on the other, participants perceived lacunae in their training and gaps in their competences, with potential implications on their (perceived) employability.

This paper aims at exploring the potentials and limits of translation and English as International Language as tools of inclusion in accessible tourism. Accessible tourism can be defined as a form of tourism that enables people with access requirements, including mobility, vision, hearing and cognitive dimensions of access, to function independently and with equity and dignity through the delivery of universally designed tourism products, services and environments. This research will try to identify the main linguistic, translational and multimodal features characterising a series of accessible tourism texts in English and Italian, in order to show how translation and English as International Language may increase, or sometimes hinder, the actual level of accessibility and promotional aims of these texts, raise awareness on disability issues and, mostly, contribute effectively to the development of a more inclusive and egalitarian society.

Translation in CLIL? It may seem a contradiction in terms. CLIL means Content and Language Integrated Learning, and is based on the assumption that content is taught through the second/foreign language. No room is left to the learners’ mother tongue, which is either declared off limits or used in very limited cases. So, what is the role of translation in CLIL? Is there any place for it at all? In the past few years, there has been a series of hectic efforts put in by schools and universities to organise CLIL programmes and teacher training courses, and a number of studies have appeared to help with the process. In spite of the wide support that is now being given to the use of the first language in language learning, CLIL proponents tend to neglect the role of translation in content and language learning. Drawing on current research on CLIL, this study sets out to investigate the nature of the contribution that translation makes to language and content learning. The work is grounded on research conducted on empirical data drawn from CLIL courses taught since 2005, inspired by social constructivist pedagogy in a networked learning environment, and a collaborative translation approach.

The present paper aims at expanding the English as an International Language (EIL) paradigm and providing new insights into the current status and role of EIL.1 The main focus of the study is on information structuring (IS) in dialogic speech events to show how IS affects the use of particular constructions, namely it-clefts, wh-cleft and topicalisation (left dislocation) which seem to show higher frequency in EIL than in standard English (Biber et al. 1998). For the purpose of this preliminary study, samples of spoken ELF data including private dialogues and academic discussions were selected from the VOICE (Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English) to investigate left-right asymmetries in EIL interactions, which is an area still lacking of attention with respect to lexical and other phrasal phenomena.

Translanguaging refers to the dynamic meaning-making process whereby multilingual language users make full use of their communicative repertoires by crossing the boundaries between named languages and other semiotic and modal resources (García and Li 2014). Director Bong Joon-ho is well-known for utilising such border-crossing practices in his films, specifically, for his strategic and creative use of multiple languages and translation. He also extends this practice to his live interviews where an interpreter is usually present. This article focuses on understanding Director Bong Joon-ho’s translanguaging practices in interviews. It first examines how he communicates through translanguaging and for what purposes, and secondly how he and his interpreter collaboratively and strategically make use of translation as translanguaging. Through the study, we wish to make the case for (a) approaching translation as collaborative translanguaging practices and an act of democratisation, and (b) understanding translanguaging practices in connection with speakers’ positioning and experience in navigating values and ways of speaking which may be culturally and linguistically specific. These translanguaging practices provide powerful arguments against any assertion that named languages exist as separate and discrete systems, challenge the default position of English as the lingua franca in global communication, and offer a corrective to the prestige and power associated with English.

Der vorliegende Beitrag basiert auf der in der Forschung zur Mehrsprachigkeitsdidaktik gewonnenen Erkenntnis, dass Lernende im Tertiärsprachenunterricht niemals ‚unbeschriebene Blätter‘ sind, sondern bereits plurilingual, sei es aufgrund von unterschiedlichen Herkunftssprachen, sei es aufgrund von Fremdsprachen, deren Lernprozess sie zuvor begonnen haben.

What comes to the attention immediately in translation is the relationship between the initial text and the destination text. In interlingual translation these two texts belong to two different historical-natural languages, the transition is from the verbal to the verbal. But the interpretive trajectory transits through multiple sign systems, never exclusively verbal. Interlingual translation involves the verbal signs of historical-natural languages, but is also of the semiotic order. Signs call for interpretants. In terms of Ogden and Richard’s meaning triangle, to reach from the sign to what it means without passing through the apex representing the act of interpretation is not possible. Evoking authors who have contributed to understanding the semiotic nature of interpretive work and signifying processes, implied in the simplest act of translation, my task here is to evidence just how semiotically complex the work of translation is even in the case of interlingual translation.
