  • Face-to-face and Wiki revision in translator training : exploring the advantages of two modes of collaboration
    Hirci, Nataša ; Pisanski Peterlin, Agnes
    It has been argued that the growing impact of new technologies on society should be reflected in education in response to the digital generation's extensive dependence on digital tools. This paper ... focuses on the incorporation of digital technologies into translator training by comparing the benefits and drawbacks of wikis, a collaborative online writing and editing tool, and face-to-face communication. In the study, trainee translators' performance in and attitudes towards face-to-face and digital revision are examined. Two groups of 12 trainee translators were asked to complete two pair-work assignments involving translation and revision: in the first, the participants were engaged in face-to-face interaction, while wiki collaboration was used in the second. The results show that the number of revisions was higher in wiki assignments, but there were no differences in the types of revisions. A short questionnaire shows that the participants' opinions of both modes of revision were positive: face-to-face revision was deemed somewhat easier and more efficient in terms of communication, whereas wiki revision was considered more effective in terms of time management. These findings call for further exploration of issues, such as pair dynamics, communication and flexibility, and their impact on the application of wikis to translator training.
