Ensinador Paralelo: alicerces para uma pedagogia nova

Abstract

After outlining some of Belinda Maia’s main ideas of how to use comparable corpora in translation teaching and learning, we present a new translator training tool: Ensinador Paralelo. It is an extension of Ensinador, originally developed for use with monolingual corpora (Simões & Santos 2011). This new tool produces exercises based on translations (previously done by professional translators or students, as we will see). In order to make the text more interesting to Belinda Maia we also study critically four translations of Lewis Carroll’s children books.
