Compiling an Interactive Literary Translation Web Site for Education Purposes

Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)

Abstract

The project under discussion represents an attempt to exploit the potential of web resources for higher education and, more particularly, on a domain (that of literary translation) which is traditionally considered not very much in relation to technology and computer science. Translation and Interpreting students at the Universidad de Málaga are offered the possibility to take an English-Spanish Literary Translation module, which epitomises the need for debate in the field of Humanities. Sadly enough, implementation of course methodology is rendered very difficult or impossible owing to time restrictions and overcrowded classrooms.
