DESIGNING A TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION DIPLOMA COURSE

DESIGNING A TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION DIPLOMA COURSE

Villalobos Nájera, Luis Armando

The objective of this paper is to share the experiences regarding the design and implementation of a Translation and Interpretation Diploma Course (TIDC) in a public university located in central Mexico. The main point of designing and implementing the diploma course was to start a new generation of translators and interpreters since a number of BA in ELT graduates from local universities and many other translators from the region wish to grow professionally in both translation and Interpretation areas. Besides, the implementation of this diploma course became a necessity since no institutions in this region offer a course of this kind. Moreover, the TIDC was designed taking into account the demand for professional translators and interpreters derived from the industrial and commercial growth in the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico.
