DataLitMT – Teaching Data Literacy in the Context of Machine Translation Literacy

This paper presents the DataLitMT project conducted at TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences. The project develops learning resources for teaching data literacy in its translationspecific form of professional machine translation (MT) literacy to students of translation and specialised communication programmes at BA and MA levels. We discuss the need for data literacy teaching in a translation/specialised communication context, present the three theoretical pillars of the project (consisting of a Professional MT Literacy Framework, an MTspecific data literacy framework and a competence matrix derived from these frameworks) and give an overview of the learning resources developed as part of the project.
