Abstract: Research into educational design has highlighted the growing concern of learner disengagement in English as Foreign Language classrooms. This issue has received increasing scholarly attention, as the need for reskilling in the era of automation has impinged the way foreign languages are taught and learned at the university level. However, the degree to which this occurs is little explored. This paper intends to investigate the career-related factors that influence learner engagement in the learner-centered education design. Drawn upon Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory and the Biggs’ constructive alignments, this paper intends to explicate the possibilities of guided career planning, transferrable skills practice, and technology-assisted multimodal assessments to resolve learner engagement problems in response to automation-induced skill shortages in future workplaces. This paper reports a case study of a standard 45-minute teaching session designed for a first-year foundational course involving a total of 22 undergraduate students. A portfolio of interactive technology platforms (e. g. , Sli. do, Kahoot) and professional tools (e. g. , MBTI, SWOT) are employed. The results revealed improved engagement in learner-centered environments with career-oriented exercises. While the findings cannot be regarded as representative, they point to the positive direction of learner- centered education design in the age of automation.

Abstract: Evidence that our research has become increasingly interdisciplinary is mounting. In Translation and Interpreting Studies, the cross-fertilisation of linguistics and sociology through the use of discourse analysis methods at micro- and macro levels has enabled our researchers to examine the nuanced understanding of the role of our translators/interpreters as social agents in cultural and ideological mediation. The book under review enriches our understanding of the immense potential of discourse analysis methods in translation studies and beyond. The informative volume captures the advances in discourse analysis in translation and interpreting studies and explores the interconnectedness between linguistic choices, communicative goals and socio-cultural contexts. It serves to bridge the gap in the mostly Eurocentric landscape by concentrating on language-specific issues when translating between European languages and non-European languages. It is intended for interested readers, researchers, scholars and practitioners who engage in communicative, social, and cultural discursive practices.

Abstract: Professional interpreters are bound by the code of conduct to interpret everything that has been said in courts. In particular, the manner that the propositional content is conveyed in the target language. Using the experiment method and questionnaire instruments, the mixed-methods research investigates the manner of speech and its interpretation in virtual courtroom discourse during remote interpreting. The working article presents the initial findings from two questionnaire instruments: one for demographics and general knowledge about speech style and discourse markers, the other for views and strategies related to the manner of speech in the interpreted utterances. Questionnaire data collected from fifty consented interpreters revealed the three main views on the rendition of the manner of speech: complete disregard as “irrelevant”, verbatim rendition without pragmatic considerations, and pragmatic equivalents for its possible impact on the court decision, ethical conduct, and professionalism. The findings intend to inform future pedagogical practice.

Abstract: There is a plethora of scholarly literature sizing the multitude of a series of far-reaching impacts brought on by the covid-19 global pandemic (Declercq and Federici 2020 Gössling, Scott, and Hall 2020 Shrestha et al. 2020 Sikali 2020 ). Undoubtedly, as readers of this review article, we all have witnessed the spillover effect of the pandemic on the social, economic, political, psychological, familial, and interactive planes of our existence. The unspeakable difficulties and challenges experienced by our in idual households and the implications of war and geopolitical tensions felt in our everyday life. It seems sensible for us to focus our gaze on the less bright side of the story yet not see the other side of our shared memories as the lockdown and disruptive years make it easier for us to be constantly reminded of our human-to-human connections in this increasingly globalized world we dwell in. With these being said, the interdisciplinary book under review serves to bridge the gap and compass us towards more balanced perceptions of the obvious challenges and the hidden gem opportunities to reshape our world through the empowering and uniting force of languages embedded in translation and interpreting activities on institutional and personal dimensions.

Abstract: Objective : This interdisciplinary review intends to inform legal scholars, practitioners, and users of language interpretation services in the judiciary of challenges encountered by professional interpreters in virtual hearings and remote settings. Methods : Situated at the intersection of law, language, and communication, this review analyses the latest discourses about technology-enabled remote settings and synthesises insights into recommended practices in effective legal communication mediated by interpreters in virtual courts. Results : With an overarching aim to improve effective collaboration between interpreting service providers and users in multilingual legal communication for procedural equity and access to justice, this review establishes three central claims: (1) the technology-enabled virtual hearings is accelerated by the covid-19 pandemic, (2) the need for effective legal communication mediated by the use of interpreters in remote settings is mounting, and (3) successful collaboration between the service user and provider can achieve a win-win outcome. Scientific novelty : A review of existing studies in law and language reveals three main gaps: (1) procedural justice in videoconferencing hearings and remote technologies, (2) equity and access for people with limited proficiency in the official language of the court system, and (3) effective legal communication mediated by human interpreters in virtual courts. This review bridges the existing gaps in knowledge. Practical significance : it touches on three aspects of the law-language nexus: (1) Covid-19 accelerated adoption of the virtual courtroom technologies in Australia and its impact on court interpreting, (2) challenges for interpreters in remote settings, and (3) achieving linguistic accuracy and intercultural appropriateness when preserving the manner in which the content is expressed as intended or implied by the original speaker. Grounded in courtroom interpreting practices, it highlights the importance of effective collaboration in successful multilingual legal communication rooted in mutual purpose, shared expectations, and interprofessional understanding.

Abstract: In court interpreting, what it is said and how it is said are equally important in face-to-face settings. However, little is known about the views on the content and the form of the interpreted utterances in remote settings. Drawing on questionnaires collected from Australian professional court interpreters, this study investigated the perceptions, views, and professional decisions related to the reproduction of speech style and other linguistic features in remote interpreting. Mode of interpreting and condition of video and audio-only interpreting were compared. The NVivo software was used to analyze qualitative data collected from questionnaires. The findings revealed that speech style and discourse markers have implications for the accuracy of court interpreting in remote circumstances. Most of the respondents held favourable views on rendering stylistic features while interpreting remotely.
