Many books designed for international distribution combine text blocks and images. Their layout offers hybrid messages organized on the visual space of a double page. Texts both in the original language and in translation must fit into limited spaces or boxes positioned around illustrations. Thus, translators practice multimodal translation, writing texts that preserve or enhance the cohesion between visual and textual messages. This skill requires some training. Unfortunately, while theoretical writings on pragmatic translation acknowledge its intersemiotic nature, few training programs address this aspect. The creation of a course on multimodal translation would be a valued addition to any translator training program. The concept of a hybrid translation unit offers a way of structuring material to introduce both intersemiotic and multimodal translation in professional curricula. The author draws on her professional experience to discuss the role of illustrations in grasping meaning through practical examples. She suggests generalizable translation strategies to strengthen text-image cohesion, or even generate text from images alone, while adapting the book in translation to its intended readership.

Over the last few decades, several administrations in Canada have organized programs for training local elected officials (LEOs). While improving LEOs’ competences is beneficial, this trend is developing amidst a persisting tension between democratic and technocratic approaches to governance. Indeed, training - and the professionalization it entails - disrupts the enduring principle holding that everyone is equally authorized to govern following the democratic election. Despite the significance of these transformations, training activities for LEOs have received limited scholarly attention until now. In this paper, we detail our conceptualization of the professionalization process and the role of training programs within it. We then review the existing Canadian training programs for LEOs. We also examine one case study: the main introductory training program for LEOs in Québec (Canada) since 2011. Accordingly, we advance our understanding of training’s effects on elected officials by emphasizing how they contribute to a long-term process of professionalization.

The aim of this paper is to discuss challenges in legal translation from the view of a teacher who evaluates the work of semi-professional translators in a special setting. Recurrent translation errors may subsequently be used as a pedagogical resource in specialised translator training. The observation of recurrent challenges confronting the candidates in legal translation and the absence of formal translator training programs are the reasons why NHH now offers an on-line course in legal translation, JurDist, focusing i.a. on useful translation strategies.

Abstract In Distance education, learning depends on the ability of the learner to manage his/her learning process, both through the creation of appropriate objectives, and by adopting strategies to achieve them. The role of the teacher is to develop an efficient methodology with flexibility over the learners’ special characteristics and to create conditions to enable the learners to manage their learning process. This research aims to investigate the parameters which are involved in synchronous teleconference and which lead to effective learning through the support of an autonomous environment. The research was conducted with students of the Annual Training Program for Teachers of Higher School of Pedagogical and Technological Education Department in Patras. The results show that teleconference as teaching tool can support the autonomous learning and can enhance personalisation as this process can help students to learn and develop skills by receiving efficient support.

Chapter two explores the range of white responses to the war on poverty, focusing on the role of the Mississippi Catholic Church in supporting a state-wide job training program. It also tells the story of Marjorie Baroni, a white Catholic from Natchez, Mississippi who played a role in forging a biracial war on poverty in her local community. Baroni’s role illustrates not only the way in which the war on poverty provided opportunities for integration but also for women. Not simply through the “professionalization” of maternalism but also in roles as co-ordinators, administrators, and program directors. Following the creation of STAR—Strategic Training and Redevelopment—this chapter exposes the ways in which religious activism interacted with federally funded antipoverty efforts, from the Diocese of Natchez-Jackson to the Delta Ministry.

Metaliteracy is very significant as it recognizes the conventional information skills. The framework of metaliteracy is staged on information literacy including new facets. The relevance of metaliteracy for the students is crucial in developing meta-literate learners. Discerning the goals and various learning objectives are concrete competencies and metaliteracy for the learning are the basic components. The elements of information literacy have been associated with social media in recent times. Digital literacy is accompanied with visual literacy as well as cyberliteracy in developing the metaliteracy resources and environment. In this current age, where the information has its own value in all the known and unknown contexts, the research is based on retrospective and the latest information. The discussion on the application of metaliteracy in learning and stake-holders considers as a reflective space with the analytical and observational thinking for the learning. The role of the librarian is instrumental while the creation of content takes place keeping the metaliteracy aspects in planning. The experiences of networked information, as well as engagement of students, are the stepping stones for the creation of learning spaces. The role of the learner as participants, contributor and metaliteracy and learner-centered design is associated with metaliteracy and course-design. In this context, the metaliteracy assignments are significant, the metaliteracy assignments are kind of a method to motivate the learners and find out hidden knowledge. The chapter provides an example of the Case of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. It discusses the methods applied at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Central Library, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi for inducing information literacy and metaliteracy among the scholars to include various training programs, workshops, etc. The details of various activities are discussed as various training programs which are focused on educating the users about library resources, accessing them, etc.

Abstract This paper reports on the findings of an empirical study conducted on the strategies employed by a sample of undergraduate Saudi translator trainees while translating. The study uses the think-aloud protocol (i.e. the subjects’ verbal reports of what’s going on in their heads while translating) as a technique for soliciting the data. The researcher has found that the strategies of ST and TT monitoring at the word or sentence level are employed most frequently (i.e. language-based strategies). Other important strategies, namely text contextualization and inferencing and reasoning are the least frequently used (i.e. knowledge-based strategies). Hence, the need for training translator trainees in the use of these strategies as well as the recognition and utilization of larger textual elements.

Objective: To provide an overview of Ohio Administrative Code 4729 and to identify the potential role of newly approved Ohio high school training programs in preparation of registration-ready pharmacy technicians. Data Sources: Relevant sections of the Ohio Administrative Code and the Ohio public high school pharmacy technician training program application were identified through the Ohio Board of Pharmacy website. Resources on employee training and pharmacy technician demand were used from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Forbes magazine, Association for Talent Development, and ExploreGate. Information pertaining to the approved high school training programs was identified from the program-specific websites. Related materials were searched for via PubMed and Google Scholar from 2000 to present. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Portions of the Ohio Administrative Code pertaining to pharmacy technician training and registration. Articles describing the cost of employer-based training and the growth of pharmacy technician demand. Data Synthesis: Training and registration requirements for pharmacy technicians have increased over the past decade. In Ohio, pharmacy technicians must now complete an approved training program and become either a registered or certified technician with the Board of Pharmacy. Technicians may complete either a nationally recognized, employer-based, or public high school training program prior to becoming a registered or certified pharmacy technician. Ohio public high school training programs must be Board approved and must prepare students for national certification. After completing a high school training program, pharmacy technicians are adequately prepared to enter the workforce with minimal training burden to potential employers. Conclusions: Newly approved Ohio high school training programs have the potential to fulfill the increased demand for pharmacy technicians at a decreased cost to both students and employers.

This study investigates the position of the translation market in translator-training and curriculum-design practices in Turkey from the perspective of various stakeholders, mainly the graduates of translator-training programs at the undergraduate level. The role of the market in curricular design and education practices in higher education has been at the core of discussions in education, specifically for disciplines that have a vocational aspect. The discussions are mostly based on theoretical grounds. This study derives from the need for empirical research on what the market expects from translators and how training programs meet these expectations. This study first presents data from a survey and interviews with graduates of translator-training programs, as this group of stakeholders is familiar with both training and market practices (supposing that they are employed professionally on the market after graduation). The initial findings obtained from the graduates were supported with interview findings from other stakeholders. The point of departure in this study was that translator training and the translation market – as two parties to translation service provision – should be in close interaction in order to improve the quality of training in higher-education institutions and the quality of translations on the market. In the present study, almost all the stakeholders agreed that there is a need for greater interaction between training and the market, and that the elements that prepare students for the market should find a place in the translation curricula. However, the results suggest that there is a need to handle the efforts to solve the problems related to training and the profession with the involvement of various stakeholders in a more systematized way. Furthermore, it is desirable to integrate market-training elements into training practices rather than offer them only in individual courses – including translation technologies and professional work procedures and ethics.
