2015 ROUND TABLE
BUILDING CORE SKILLS IN ACADEMIC RESEARCH
On February 12, 2015 the Research Centre for Specialised Translation and Intercultural Communication, in cooperation with the Foreign languages Department in UTCB organised the Annual Round Table “Building Core Skills in Academic Research”.
The Annual Round Table is one of the major events taking place in our Department, its purpose being to emphasise the Department faculty’s research activity and future projects.
An important segment of the debate was covered by the presentation of several Ph.D. projects in progress, by our colleagues Cătălina Radu, Dana Radu and Mălina Gurgu. These research projects are mainly focused on the main areas of interest for our Department: translation studies and teaching methodologies, cultural and literary studies, all of which contribute to our constant effort to build core skills and adapt teaching methods and syllabi to modern requirements.
 
 
Other colleagues – Marina Rotaru, Oscar Ruiz, Bianca Geman and Mihaela Vraja - who have already defended their theses in public meetings, are now taking the necessary steps for the publication of their works. These volumes will be a useful addition to the Department Library for consultation by students and faculty alike.
In 2014 the participation of our colleagues in national and international conference resulted in the publication of their contributions in Conference proceedings or separate volumes. The collaboration of experienced teachers with the teacher trainees has been and continues to be an important part of everyday Department activities.
A selection of the articles presented in the 2014 International Conference organised by our Department will be published soon by Ars Docendi Publishing House.
The second part of the Round Table included an open debate regarding the topics presented in the first part, as well as other areas of research of interest for the future.
