les 1, 2, 3 novembre 2012 Les activités de traduction et d’interprétation dans des contextes de multilinguisme officiel (où au moins deux langues sont désignées officielles) sont le quotidien de bon nombre de pays. Or rares sont les colloques qui réunissent les gestionnaires, praticiens et scientifiques de la traduction afin de leur permettre de réfléchir ensemble sur les expériences politiques, institutionnelles et socio-culturelles qui sont le propre de ces contextes. Alors que le thème de la traduction dans des contextes multilingues et multiculturels a suscité beaucoup d’intérêt dernièrement1, les discussions n’ont pas eu pour objet explicite les contextes de multilinguisme officiel ou institutionnel. Ce colloque souhaite fournir l’occasion d’échanger sur la spécificité de la traduction et de l’interprétation dans des contextes de multilinguisme officiel ou institutionnel et les « effets de traduction » (Simon 1996) qui s’y font ressentir. Bon nombre de pays du monde sont officiellement multilingues : l’Afghanistan (le pachtou, le dari), la Belgique (le néerlandais, le français, l’allemand), le Cameroun et le Canada (l’anglais, le français), la Finlande (le finnois, le suédois), l’Inde (23 langues officielles), l’Irlande (l’irlandais, l’anglais), Israël (l’hébreu, l’arabe), la Norvège (les deux variétés du norvégien), le Pakistan (l’ourdou, l’anglais), les Philippines (l’anglais, le filipino-tagalog), l’Afrique du Sud (11 langues officielles) et la Suisse (le français, l’allemand, l’italien), entre autres pays, de même que bon nombre d’organisations internationales (p. e. l’Organisation des Nations Unies, la Commission européenne, Amnesty International). Les interventions traiteront au moins un aspect de l’interaction entre la traduction et le multilinguisme officiel, par exemple l’institutionnalisation de la traduction dans les pays et les organisations identifiés ci-dessus de même que dans d’autres pays et organisations, voire dans les villes bilingues. Les communications permettront aux participants de réfléchir sur les questions suivantes : Le multilinguisme officiel et la traduction fonctionnent-ils et interagissent-ils de la même façon ou de façon similaire dans ces pays et organisations? La traduction dans des contextes de multilinguisme officiel est-elle au service de l’idéal humaniste qui vise à créer une culture commune (Simon 1996)? Sinon, sert-elle plutôt à renforcer les divisions culturelles en soulignant les rencontres manquées entre les groupes socio-linguistiques qui constituent ces contextes? Quelles expériences et pratiques sont partagées? Lesquelles se distinguent des nôtres? Que pourrions-nous et devrions-nous apprendre à partir d’expériences qui se différencient des nôtres? Ces questions sont parmi celles sur lesquelles les conférenciers se pencheront lors du colloque. Lire la suite: http://www.umoncton.ca/umcm-fass-traduction/node/47

More great thoughts from Steve Wheeler about curriculum (part 2) "In the digital age, conversation as curriculum can be extended beyond the classroom through the use of social media and other communication technologies. Conversation for learning across a number of platforms suggests that two or more discussions can occur simultaneously. It may be impossible to change the curriculum we are tasked to deliver. However, teachers who appreciate the merits of conversation in a truly Socratic mode will redesign lessons to incorporate learning activities to reflect it."

Robin Good: The Institute for the Future and the University of Phoenix have teamed up to produce, this past spring, an interesting report entitled Future Work Skills 2020. By looking at the set of emerging skills that this research identifies as vital for future workers, I can't avoid but recognize the very skillset needed by any professional curator or newsmaster. It should only come as a limited surprise to realize that in an information economy, the most valuable skills are those that can harness that primary resource, "information", in new, and immediately useful ways. And being the nature of information like water, which can adapt and flow depending on context, the task of the curator is one of seeing beyond the water, to the unique rare fish swimming through it. The curator's key talent being the one of recognizing that depending on who you are fishing for, the kind of fish you and other curators could see within the same water pool, may be very different. Here the skills that information-fishermen of the future will need the most: 1) Sense-making: ability to determine the deeper meaning or significance of what is being expressed 2) Social intelligence: ability to connect to others in a deep and direct way, to sense and stimulate reactions and desired interactions 3) Novel and adaptive thinking: proficiency at thinking and coming up with solutions and responses beyond that which is rote or rule-based 4) Cross-cultural competency: ability to operate in different cultural settings 5) Computational thinking: ability to translate vast amounts of data into abstract concepts and to understand data-based reasoning 6) New media literacy: ability to critically assess and develop content that uses new media forms, and to leverage these media for persuasive communication 7) Transdisciplinarity: literacy in and ability to understand concepts across multiple disciplines 8) Design mindset: ability to represent and develop tasks and work processes for desired outcomes 9) Cognitive load management: ability to discriminate and filter information for importance, and to understand how to maximize cognitive functioning using a variety of tools and techniques 10) Virtual collaboration: ability to work productively, drive engagement, and demonstrate presence as a member of a virtual team Critical to understand the future ahead. 9/10 Curated by Robin Good Executive Summary of the Report: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapolloresearchinstitute.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Ffuture-work-skills-executive-summary.pdf  Download a PDF copy of Future Work Skills 2020: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapolloresearchinstitute.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Ffuture-skills-2020-research-report.pdf

"Access to information is a basic human right," said former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, according to the World Bank Institute, at a conference on the subject last year in Accra, Ghana. Information is also power, and more and more organizations are recognizing that it will play an essential role in Africa’s future. Having access to information enables people to do things like take care of their health, understand their rights, start businesses, and participate in political processes.
Whether the government, the private sector or NGOs should deliver development is a question which will not have much relevance unless India's wealth continues to grow to pay for that development. English is one of the advantages India has which are said to be propelling it to economic superpower status.
