Translation between own languages (Spanish-Catalan): towards an autonomous learning of interferences

Abstract

This article presents an online resource of exercises and practical activities, called Traduscopi (<traduscopi.wixsite.com>), created to improve written competence in Catalan by preventing linguistic interference with Spanish and French, targeted at translation students. Specifically, new exercises and materials focusing on Spanish-Catalan interference are presented, as a result of the second phase of the development of the resource. This resource aims to encourage students’ autonomy in the learning process as well as the collaborative work between teachers of related subjects. Given that mastery of the Catalan language is one of the basic and transversal competences of the degree in Translation and Interpreting, it is hoped that using this resource will have a positive impact on the student’s curricular training as a whole in the long term.
