About
EATPA is network of academics based at universities across the world and seeks to:
- facilitate networking and encourage international collaboration in the field of Chinese/Japanese/Korean translation pedagogy,
- foster international, collaborative research and dissemination
- provide a forum for discussion of innovative approaches to translation and translation pedagogy
- contribute to further enhancements in pedagogy within this field and the sharing of resources and expertise, with the ultimate goal of equipping would-be translators working with these languages to more effectively meet the needs of translation work and intercultural mediation with these languages in the 21st century,
- encourage post- and undergraduate students of these languages to confidently engage with the professionalisation of the language skills gained during their studies
This will be achieved through the following:
- communication via the mailing list, sharing relevant events, resources, calls for collaboration in projects, calls for papers etc
- online workshops, talks, fora and more (roughly 3-4 times/year)
- student-facing translation workshops providing peer networking and engagement opportunities (reminiscent of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL))
- webinars where members can showcase their research/scholarship in this field
- conferences
- research projects within the field conducted collaboratively by network members
- publications
