Meeting Description: 

The CRITT centre at Copenhagen Business School is offering an international, English-language course for PhD students on translation process research. This 1st International TPR course will focus on theoretical aspects of process research, on experimental research design and methodology, on data visualization and human translation process modeling, and on qualitative and quantitative data analysis. There will also be frequent opportunities to consider research issues arising in connection with user interaction with language technological tools. 

The main content of the course:

The course will focus on experimental methods in translation-process research. It aims at introducing participants to studying translation processes experimentally, i.e. in a laboratory setting. Three non-invasive monitoring technologies: eye-tracking, keystroke logging and video/audio will be introduced and two methods for eliciting verbal reports, think aloud and technology-reinforced recall in combination with retrospective interviews. The course also aims at heightening participants' awareness of the differences between working with product data and process data and of the differences between in vivo observation and laboratory experiments. Finally, the course aims at giving participants hands-on experience with designing translation process experiments using Translog and developing skill at visualising data. In addition to developing methodological skills, the course also aims at developing participants' analytical competence as well as their ability to reflect theoretically and to think creatively about how man-machine interaction can be exploited to create a better world for all.

The main topics covered in the course:

1. Reading - for comprehension, for translation, and while translating
2. Analyzing eye-movement data as evidence of meaning construction
3. Typing a translation; representing meaning
4. Analyzing keystrokes as evidence of cognitive processing of meaning
5. Analyzing the coordination of reading and typing processes
6. Guessing at the in-between: bridging meaning construction and meaning representation;
7. Hands on session: Creating Translog projects; display options; logging options (keystrokes only or in combination with eyetracker and/or other monitoring tools); data analysis
8. Qualitative data elicitation methods: think aloud; technology-reinforced recall and retrospective interview; analysis of qualitative data;
9. Modeling translational cognitive processes; predicting translational action (at micro-level)
10. Developing interactive translator-aware support tools

The PhD course in translation process research is recommended for PhD students engaged not only in projects in translation studies but more generally for PhD students wishing to know about empirical research methodology, experimental design, and data analysis, especially of behavioural data from eyetracking and keylogging. The overall purpose of the course is to give an overview of, as well hands-on introduction to, all of these areas. 

The method of instruction will include teacher presentations, class discussion of morning lectures and of the course reading. There will also be an opportunity to have a personal one-on-one tutorial with one of the instructors about your own project. 

Participants must have at least started their PhD project and reflected on its empirical theme, theory and level of analysis. Number of participants: min. 10 - max. 20. The course is also open to university researchers.

Principal organiser: Professor Arnt Lykke Jakobsen, alj.isv at cbs.dk . Check out the course website: www.cbs.dk/tpr, which will always carry the latest information about the course. Information about registration for the course is also available here. Registration deadline July 15.
