Threading metaliteracy into Translation and Interpreting undergraduates’ information literacy training: A reflective active learning approach
(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Sales Salvador, Dora
Information competence is an essential component of translation competence and the basis for the lifelong learning of Translation and Interpreting trainees. This work describes the author’s updated approach to an information literacy course for Translation and Interpreting undergraduate students implemented at the Universitat Jaume I (Spain), which, due to the health situation generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, had to be taught entirely online. The article gives an account of how metaliteracy has been integrated as a guiding thread to encourage reflection and critical thinking throughout the course and awareness of its importance. The students’ feedback and the assessment results demonstrate that learning has been significant. Hopefully, the perspective, curricular proposal and experience analyzed here could be transferable to other discipline-based information literacy training programs.
