Revisão compartilhada e comunidade de prática: um estudo de caso do Projeto Letrare

Abstract

Aiming the internationalization expansion of the scientific production developed at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), the Laboratory for Editing, Translation and Revision of Academic Texts, LETRARE, was created. The purpose of the laboratory is to help revise articles written in English for publication in international journals. To do so, LETRARE has scholarship students who review the English texts submitted on the laboratory’s platform. In its conception, LETRARE seeks through revision - especially shared revision - to contribute to the training of translators to work in the market. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate how revision and the shared revision process help to train translators. The research seeks to understand how revision, especially when done collaboratively, can improve the skills of future translators. The main hypothesis is that the work in LETRARE, by promoting interaction and the sharing of knowledge among students, creates a ―community of practice‖ that contributes significantly to the professional development of the participants.
