New Perspectives on Assessment in Translator Education

New Perspectives on Assessment in Translator Education

This book focuses on new perspectives on assessment in translator and interpreting education and suggests that assessment is not only a measure of learning (i. e. assessment ‘of’ learning) but also part of the learning process (i. e. assessment ‘for’ learning and assessment ‘as’ learning). To this end the book explores the current and changing practices of the role and nature of assessment not only in terms of the products but also the processes of translation. It includes empirical studies which examine competence-based assessment and quality in translation and interpreting education both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. This includes studies and proposals on formative and summative assessment in a wide range of educational contexts as well as contributions about relatively unexplored research areas such as quality assurance and assessment in subtitling for the D/deaf and the hard of hearing and how closely translation programmes fit the reality of professional practice. The findings of this book lend support to existing theoretical frameworks and inform course planning and design in translation education. As such it will be a valuable resource for translation educators trainers and researchers translation and interpreting practitioners and associated professionals. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Interpreter and Translator Trainer. | New Perspectives on Assessment in Translator Education

Understanding Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Adults

Understanding Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Adults

This book explores what happens to people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) when they reach adulthood. It provides an examination of various terms and definitions in use and a critical exploration of current UK policies. The author brings a wealth of many years’ experience as a family carer independent consultant and trainer to demonstrate the significant changes that a person-centred specialised therapeutic and incremental approach can make to an individual’s life. Advances in medical science mean more than ever people with (PIMD) are growing into adulthood. What is this experience like for an adult who needs support in all aspects of their life? How do we include them in planning support when their intellectual disability means they cannot tell us first hand what they want or need? Too often this group are overlooked or considered as an afterthought in policy and planning. Notions of independence employment and mainstream inclusion are all problematic policy ideas for this group of people. Within one-size-fits-all service planning this focus means there is less capacity to meet their life-long specialist complex and individualised needs. Understanding Profound and Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Adults is essential reading for anyone who is involved in the lives of adults with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities whether as a researcher student carer or policy-maker. | Understanding Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Adults

A Handbook for Training Strategy

A Handbook for Training Strategy

When the first edition of Martyn Sloman’s Handbook appeared it made an immediate impact on the HRD community. Its starting point was the idea that traditional approaches to training in the organization were no longer effective. The Handbook introduced a new model and set out the practical implications. The world of HRD has moved on and Martyn Sloman has now drastically revised the text to reflect the increased complexity of organizational life and the many recent developments in the field. His aim remains the same: to help readers to develop a framework in which training can be effectively managed and delivered. In Part I of the text the author draws attention to the opportunities created for training by the current emphasis on competition through people. In Part II he poses the question: ’What should training managers be doing to ensure that training in their organization is as good as it can be?’ Here he stresses the need to keep training aligned with business objectives and to encourage line managers to work alongside the human resource professionals. The third and final Part considers the trainer as a strategic facilitator and examines the skills required. Martyn Sloman writes as an experienced training manager and his book is concerned above all with implementation. Thus the text is supported by questionnaires survey instruments and specimen documents. With its combination of thought-provoking argument and practical guidance the Handbook will continue to serve all those with an interest in organizational training. | A Handbook for Training Strategy
