Workshop II: Troubleshooting in Terminology Work

<div class="paragraf">
 <p>
  In terminological practice, a broad range of terminological products may be produced by making use of information and documentary sources, along with other available resources and a suitable theoretical grounding. Each one of said products is adapted to a specific demand or need. At present, these demands, which may be either explicit or implicit, arise from very different social settings, ranging from the more classical settings of scientific or technical professions and mediation (translation, documentation, etc.), to settings or situations from everyday life, and where, until very recently, it would have been difficult to predict that they would be the focus of terminological work. The <strong>Workshop II: Troubleshooting in Terminology Work</strong> addresses the fact that many of these terminological products require different treatments for units, in both the extraction and the final preparation phases. This means or involves the taking of decisions subsequent to the proposal and analysis exercises; i.e.: it entails having to tackle problems and find the corresponding satisfactory solutions.</p>

<h2>
 Objectives</h2>
<div class="paragraf">
 <p>
  The objective of this workshop is to establish and develop skills for detecting those problems which arise when preparing a terminological project and for applying the most effective solutions.</p>
 <p>
  Attending to the different habitual phenomena and activities in the various phases of the terminological project process, this objective is laid out in the following skills:</p>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Accurately defining the terms found and discerning the terminological units of categories other than nouns.</li>
  <li>
   Detecting those terminological units that are equivalent to each other and treating them in a manner that is suitable to the type of project.</li>
  <li>
   Preparing suitable definitions with the requirements established and distinguishing inaccurate or inadequate definitions.</li>
  <li>
   Tackling the different instances of possible terminological novelties, including the creation of neologisms, based on solid criteria.</li>
 </ul>
</div>
<h2>
 Potential candidates</h2>
<div class="paragraf">
 Translators and interpreters, documentalists, technical writers, journalists involved in scientific dissemination, lexicographers and dictionary editors, editors of scientific journals, philologists and linguists interested in lexicon, text book editors, teachers of languages for specific purposes, teachers and specialists in various subjects interested in building subject-specific glossaries.</div>
<div class="paragraf">
 <h2>
  Methodology</h2>
 <div class="paragraf">
  <p>
   Digital classroom with access restricted to course students and lecturers, with exclusive teaching material in the form of websites, discussion forums, chat, tests, exercises and administrative and academic services.</p>
  <p>
   Individual attention with direct, ongoing contact with teaching staff for the taught units, the course directors, the dynamiser and the webmaster for resolving any academic queries or other issues.</p>
  <p>
   Innovative teaching methodology based on discussion forums and the teaching material available on the homepage of the course's digital classroom.</p>
  <p>
   Programme work method:</p>
  <p>
   To begin with, registered students receive technical instructions. When a module or each of the module units begin, they receive a welcome message for starting the corresponding activities and completing them within the stated period.</p>
  <p>
   Course is organised into teaching units which conclude with targeted exercises. Each unit is given by a single lecturer, who will deal with queries on a daily basis throughout the unit.</p>
  <p>
   Students must read the material for each unit, consult any queries with the lecturer and prepare the exercises. The teaching staff will ask for the exercises to be corrected if they are not up to standard when initially submitted, monitoring each student individually.</p>
 </div>
 <h2>
  Evaluation</h2>
 <p>
  Students are assessed by means of a combination of the following indicators:</p>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Marks from the exercises for all the units in the workshop.</li>
  <li>
   Evaluation of the student's willingness to review those exercises not passed initially.</li>
 </ul>
</div>
<h2>
