THE NEW ICTS AND TRANSLATION COMPETENCE

THE TRANSLATION NOW
The translation profession has changed with the new era

COMPETENCE-TRANSLATION
first used by Toury 1980-1995 'cuse of chomsky

translation competence is the ability to carry out process

Model of Translation

It is expert knowledge
it is basic procedural
it is made up of various interrelated sub-competences
the strategic component is very important

THE 5 SUB-COMPETENCES

the bilingual sub-competence
the extralinguistic sub- competence
The translation knowledge sub-competence
the instrumental sub-competence
the strategic sub-competence

VALENTINE'S DAY

Origin

Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14. It is a festival of romantic love and many people give cards, letters, flowers or presents to their spouse or partner. They may also arrange a romantic meal in a restaurant or night in a hotel. Common symbols of Valentine's Day are hearts, red roses and Cupid.

What Do People Do?

Many people celebrate their love for their partner by sending cards or letters, giving gifts or flowers and arranging meals in restaurants or romantic nights in hotels. People who would like to have a romantic relationship with somebody may use the occasion to make this known, often anonymously. Valentine's cards are often decorated with images of hearts, red roses or Cupid. Common Valentine's Day gifts are flowers chocolates, candy, lingerie and champagne or sparkling wine. However, some people use the occasion to present lavish gifts, such as jewelry. Many restaurants and hotels have special offers at this time. These can include romantic meals or weekend breaks.

Public Life

Valentine's Day is not a public holiday. Government offices, stores, schools and other organizations are open as usual. Public transit systems run on their regular schedule. Restaurants may be busier than usual as many people go out for an evening with their spouse or partner. Valentine's Day is also a very popular date for weddings.

Background

There are a number of Saints called Valentine who are honored on February 14. The day became associated with romantic love in the Middle Ages in England. This may have followed on from the Pagan fertility festivals that were held all over Europe as the winter came to an end. Traditionally, lovers exchanged hand written notes. Commercial cards became available in the mid nineteenth century.

Symbols

The most common Valentine's Day symbols are the heart, particularly in reds and pinks, and pictures or models of Cupid. Cupid is usually portrayed as a small winged figure with a bow and arrow. In mythology, he uses his arrow to strike the hearts of people. People who have fallen in love are sometimes said to be 'struck by Cupid's arrow. Other symbols of Valentine's Day are couples in loving embraces and the gifts of flowers, chocolate, red roses and lingerie that couples often give each other.

Factors Affecting teacher's use of the ict

Computers↘

we can use the ict for everyting, to get information or save it.

Theory of planned behaviour

attitud ↘↘↘
norm ---------------> intention------------>behaviour
control↗↗↗

* Educational expierence*

Bauer & Kenton

They made a study about technology integration inthe schools

Level of an accesibility of the ICT infrastructure

Albirini (2006)
Results: 57% had computer at home & 33% had acces to computers at home.

Mumtaz (2000)

Lack of time, is the excuse of not use computers
82% agreed.

Available support to computer using teacher in the work place

The NCATE 1997 report the lack of technical suport as one of the majior barrirs

School Culture

It is defined as the basics assumtions, norms & values, and cultural artifacts that are shared bys school members.

Computers Attributes

Relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, observability.

The level & Quality of Training for Teachers

professional developement has a significant influence on how well ICT is embraced in the classroom.

Attitude towards computer

Has a possitive influence on the innovative use of ITC by the teacher.

Computer Competence

Teachers Lack of Knowladge & skills was the second most inhibiting obstacle to the use of computers in schools.

Effective Trainning Program

Having a recognition system for innovate and effective use of ITC integration on schools will motivate teachers to use ICT in teaching.

Models for Integrating Technology into Teacher Trainnig Programs

In order for technology to be effectively incorporated into teacher preparation programs teaches should complete a well-planed sequence of courses and experinces.

MECHANICAL ERA

The mechanical age is when we first start to see connections between our current technology and its ancestors. The mechanical age can be defined as the time between 1450 and 1840. A lot of new technologies are developed in this era as there is a large explosion in interest with this area. Technologies like the slide rule (an analog computer used for multiplying and dividing) were invented. Blaise Pascal invented the Pascaline which was a very popular mechanical computer. Charles Babbage developed the difference engine which tabulated polynomial equations using the method of finite differences.

PREMECHANICAL ERA

The premechanical age is the earliest age of information technology. It can be defined as the time between 3000B.C. and 1450A.D. We are talking about a long time ago. When humans first started communicating they would try to use language or simple picture drawings known as petroglyths which were usually carved in rock. Early alphabets were developed such as the Phoenician alphabet.
