Meeting Description:

The international conference on Translation and Language Teaching, which will
be held in the Maribor, Slovenia from 7-8 September 2017, attempts to continue
the dialogue between Translation Studies and Foreign Language Didactics with a
view to providing a forum for international researchers and practitioners from
both disciplines.

Keynote Speakers:

Nike Kocijančič Pokorn, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Dorothy Kelly, University of Granada, Spain


2nd Call for Papers:

In the past, translation has always occupied a rather extreme and contentious
role in language education.The reasons underpinning its rejection have not
always been pedagogic or linguistic; rather, they seem to be a reaction
provoked by a number of disparate motives and reasons, including economic and
ethno-centric forces. In recent years, however, an increasing number of pleas
(for example, Cook 2010, Carreres and Noriega-Sanches 2011, Kerr 2014) have
been made for a more balanced examination of this role and for contributions
that would objectively assess the effects of translation in real-life language
classroom settings.

This plea has provoked a flurry of new research attempting to re-establish the
relative merits of translation in foreign language teaching, e.g. as a
legitimate and effective tool for learning, teaching and assessing foreign
languages (Laviosa 2014), a complex activity associated with high degrees of
student satisfaction (Pym et al 2014), and as a task promoting contrastive
analysis between the languages (Leonardi 2010), to name but a few. 

Drawing upon convergences between the two disciplines that have emerged as a
result of recent research, the conference attempts to continue the dialogue
between Translation Studies and Foreign Language Didactics with a view to
providing a forum for international researchers and practitioners from both
disciplines.

The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Definition(s) of translation
- Translanguaging
- Plurilingualism and mediation
- Language competence
- Translation competence
- Language curricula
- Translation and language learning
- Translation and language teaching
- Translation in FLT/SLT contexts
- Translation in other learning contexts
- Language teaching in translator and interpreter training
- Language teaching in general language instruction 
- Translation and language teaching in academia
- Didactic approaches in language teaching

As an additional way of encouraging student research, the conference will be
hosting a Student Poster Session.

Important Dates:

Abstract Submission Closes: deadline extended to 20 May
Acceptance Notification / Registration Opens: 1 June 2017
Registration Closes: 15 August 2017

The working language of the conference is English. More information is
