Abstract The primary objective of this paper is to find out which competences translators need in order to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of the translation market. First, European initiatives on translators’ competence profiles will be analysed. The results will be examined in light of the latest translation industry surveys in order to identify whether the skills profiles (and thus translators’ abilities) match the needs of the labour market. The analysed data reflects on the most essential requirements set by industry: professional competence followed by technological and domain competence. The findings of the present article aim to support translator training institutions in tailoring study programmes to market needs.

Improving the quality in order to keep up with the trend in the world is the vital task of training institutions today. Training institutions need to grasp market needs and satisfy the requirements of customers - learners. Nadiri, H., Kandampully, J & Hussain, K. (2009) argue that the managers in education need to apply market strategies that are being used by manufacturing and business enterprises and need to be aware that the role of training institutions is a service industry which is responsible for satisfying learner needs (Elliott & Shin, 2002). Currently, there have been many researches on students’ satisfaction. However, each research has its own objectives and is conducted on different scales. This study is implemented to provide information about the factors affecting master students’ satisfaction with the training service at VNU School of Interdisciplinary Studies (VNU SIS). Through it, the research offers a number of solutions to improving the satisfaction level of the master students at VNU SIS in the coming time.

Companies are poorly satisfied with the level of training of specialists and put forward a number of requirements for specific professional competencies of the applicant in the field of engineering. Building a model of such a specialist is complicated by the fact that engineering services are not part of an independent branch of the national economy of Russia. The training of University students is regulated by Federal state educational standards. For specialists in the field of engineering, it is necessary to involve representatives of the professional community in the development of Professional standards. This will allow us to offer outstanding professional competence in the engineering field, which will meet modern market needs and take into account the experience of the best world practices. Modern specialists in the field of engineering should have a balanced combination of practical programs with traditional training, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real conditions. World experience shows another feature of training these specialists, which is aimed at developing non-technical skills in addition to mastering the basic curriculum in order to professionally succeed. In many respects, the effectiveness of applicants in the engineering field will be determined by their knowledge and skills in the organization and management of key stages of the life cycle of their projects. The state University of management shares its experience in training project-oriented specialists in the field of management and engineering. At the University, the training program is based on engineering education using modern training technologies, methods and tools of project management, as well as direct communication between students and teachers. Active implementation of digital technologies improves academic mobility and contributes to increasing the share of the online segment of educational services.

Cadre de la recherche : En Norvège, vivre avec un enfant ayant des problèmes de santé est une réalité pour de nombreux parents et demande une adaptation de toute la famille ; cela peut être d’autant plus problématique pour des parents issus de l’immigration. Objectifs : Le présent article vise à comprendre comment les familles issues de différents types d’immigration gèrent le suivi de l’enfant ayant des besoins spécifiques. Méthodologie : Les données sont issues d’une recherche qualitative basée sur vingt-sept entretiens individuels semi-directifs et trois entretiens de groupe avec des parents immigrés ou issus de l’immigration. L’analyse inductive se fonde sur l’analyse de contenu des entretiens. Résultats : Vivre avec un enfant ayant des besoins spécifiques exige une redéfinition de l’investissement et des rôles de chacun des parents. On note, en effet, des stratégies conjugales et parentales qui prennent forme dans un rapport de genre marqué à la fois par des pratiques de changement et de reproduction. Pour les familles immigrées ayant un enfant aux besoins spécifiques, la question du travail aussi bien pour les hommes que pour les femmes est centrale tant elle montre la nécessité des bricolages, à la fois pour l’adaptation au mode de vie du pays d’accueil et pour sortir de « la famille soignante », où l’enfant est au centre des préoccupations. Conclusion : Les relations sociales (notamment par le travail ou par le maintien d’un réseau d’amis ou de la famille élargie) ainsi que le soutien apporté par les services médicosociaux restent des ressources précieuses pour faire face aux défis qu’entraînent le handicap ou la maladie chronique de l’enfant. Contributions: L’étude, réalisée en collaboration avec Lisbeth Gravdal Kvarme, est financée par The Research Council of Norway, dans le cadre du projet « Ethnic differences in labour market participation, health and sickness absence among parents caring for disabled or chronically ill children » ( n o 227022/H20).

Pedagogical Discourses

The present article proposes to reflect on the process of internalization of moral values as the primary objective of Education, through historical and philosophical sources, analyzing, for this, theoretical frameworks of Pedagogy, such as: Comenius, Pestalozzi, Herbart and Durkheim. Our methodology was based on the bibliographic and authorial writings of these theorists and we try to question the logic established in pedagogical discourses, starting from the critic of moral values formulated by Friedrich Nietzsche, emphasizing aspects present in the referred theories and their reverberations in singularities and collectivities. The process of internalizing moral values had as its priority making education an instrument for the ordering of subjects, making it useful to the interests of state culture. It is understood that subjectivities are constituted inside and outside for the moral field and that the same is not alien or should be non-existent in school. However, it has been attempted to demonstrate in this article, how the moral field has been reduced to a process of disciplining and ordering, according to pre-determined models, virtues and values, which shows the limited pedagogical perspective in the vision of the moral field, which from its conception responds to interests and prioritizes the maintenance of the status quo.

Abstract. The present article explores the use of grammatical forms in job advertisements published over the past 60 years (1958, 1978, 1998 and 2018). A historical examination of the use of gender forms in employment is based on analysis of job advertisements published in the Slovenian language, and the particular socioeconomic context. The results show that the frequency of use of the masculine, feminine and neutral forms has not drastically altered over the decades. In general, feminine and neutral forms were used less frequently, and the masculine grammatical form consistently dominates. In 2018, the latter was seemingly ‘neutralised’ by adding the abbreviation M/F

The present article reports on a study that set out to investigate the effectiveness of strategies and decisions formulated in foreign language planning to ensure learners’ language achievement in a higher education context which trains learners to become English or French teachers or translators. By drawing on data collected from simulated proficiency tests and interviews with students, teachers, and administrators, the findings show that the foreign language goals have not been met as stipulated in the curriculum, and that there are several shortcomings in the foreign language planning that need the educational community’s consideration. This article also discusses some factors that should be considered in foreign language planning in order to meet language goals in educational contexts.
