Unit description
By conducting individual action research projects, students will be guided to explore translation and interpreting related areas from multiple perspectives and to conduct systematic inquiry of their own translation or interpreting practice. Students will be required to identify problems they have experienced in skill development, gather and analyse data, design a plan of action and implement the plan for the sake of improving their skills (sense, read, match, act). Students will conduct a reflective individual action research project, based on critical readings, classroom and/or online discussions, and feedback from lecturers.
