We are currently seeking language professionals to participate in the
study described below. For any additional information please contact Elizabeth Marshman at elizabeth.marshman@uottawa.ca. Have language technologies put you in the driver’s seat at work? Or do you feel as if you’re just along for the ride? We want to know! Language technologies play a growing role in the language industry today. They can allow us to achieve things we would never have believed possible or practical, but they can also bring equally unanticipated challenges. In either case, they can affect the ways that we as language professionals perceive our role and our work. Do you feel that the use of language technologies has affected your control over your work and how you do it? We want to know. You are invited to participate in the study “Powering the language industry and empowering language professionals: A dual role for language technologies?” conducted by Elizabeth Marshman, Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa’s School of Translation and Interpretation. To participate, any time until April 15, 2012, simply fill out our anonymous, online questionnaire at http://app.fluidsurveys.com/s/em-powering-translation/langeng/ and tell us about your personal observations and perceptions. By investing a few minutes of your time in sharing your opinions about technologies’ influence, you can help language professionals, clients and employers, professional associations, technology developers and educators to better understand how technologies affect how “in control” you as language professionals feel in various aspects of your work, and some of the main benefits and drawbacks of technology use. |
