About this book
This book delves into the dynamic world of authentic project-based learning (PjBL) in translation and interpreting (T&I) education.
With translation and interpreting programs on the rise, especially in China, the book merges academic rigor with market realities and provides valuable insights for the cultivation of school-based translation projects that prepare students for the global stage. Using cross-analysis of eleven representative projects, Li's research identifies patterns, trends, and commonalities in PjBL and distinguishes traditional classroom exercises from innovative internship projects. The chapters offer an in-depth analysis of a unique internship project in collaboration with the United Nations at Shanghai International Studies University, from recruitment to leadership selection, and from teamwork to task management, where students gain real-world skills, collaborate seamlessly, and tackle continuous challenges. By situating a unique case within this broader education context, this book provides holistic understanding, meaningful comparisons, and a detailed depiction of not only the productive side of an internship project but also the selection, training, assessment, knowledge-building, and maintenance that ensures the continuity of the team.
By combining a broad view of project-based learning with an in-depth investigation of a single case, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students and educators in T&I programs, providing guidance, insights, and best practices for designing and implementing authentic translation projects.
