History

edit

The School of Languages was founded in 1962 by Prof. Haydeé Massoni to commemorate the creation in 1962 of the Higher Institute of Teacher Training, dependent on the Higher Counsel of Education of the Province of Río Negro. The courses of studies offered were Training of Teachers of English, Training of Teachers of French, Pedagogy, Training of Teachers of Spanish and Literature.

In 1972, with the creation of the National University of Comahue, the Higher Institute of Teacher Training became part of the general structure of the National University of Comahue as the School of Teacher Training, dependent on the School of Education Sciences. It was situated in General Roca and it offered two diplomas, namely Training of English Teachers and Training of French Teachers. In 1973, the School of Humanities starts exercising administrative and academic control over the STT. Two years later, the Training of English Teachers is incorporated by the School of Modern Languages and starts depending on the Regional University Centre, located in General Roca. This department lacked legal and academic status because it had been created by an internal regulation of the School of Social Sciences. However, this did not prevent neither the start of lessons nor the beginning of activities of academic research and extension. This led to the creation of the Higher School of Languages on the 25th of August in the year 1977, dependent on the Rector's office.

In May in the year 2010 the Higher School of Languages became the School of Languages (Res. AU 0001/09).[9]

Translation Service

edit

The Translation Service is made up of teachers of the Department of Translation, advanced students and alumni of the Sworn Translator of English Training Course. It was created to provide services of interpreting and written translation to all academic units within UNCo, the Rector's office, the Academic Secretary and particular individuals. On the other hand, it offers a means of training for advanced students of the Sworn Translator of English Training Course of the University, and it aims at being a link among graduates, their first steps of their career and the environment. Among the services offered are: written translation of commercial and legal documents; technical, scientific and literary texts; consecutive interpreting; correction of written texts: correcting style and reading, correcting text structure, text rewriting; transcription of oral texts; among others. The Translation Service was created to give translation and interpreting services of teachers, researchers and other members of the university community; giving translation services to companies and public and private organisations within the Comahue region; contributing to the training of advanced students; being a link among graduates and the environment during their first steps in their careers; and creating a database containing the terminological research undertaken during each completed task.[17]

Between 1978 and 1985, the Higher School of Languages (now School of Languages) began its research activities.[9]

The School of Languages, according to the Open Access Act Nº 26,889,[20] has an institutional digital book repository[21] of open access to host the technological and scientific production financed with public funds, which are the result of the research activities undertaken by teachers and researchers of the university. This repository includes institutional production (technical reports, biographical data, et cetera) research projects, and information on the researchers.

Centre of Translation Studies (CET)

edit

In 2012 the Centre of Translation Studies Bernabé Duggan was created. The translators and the teachers from the Department of Translation of the National University of Comahue submitted a proposal for the creation of a CET and it was approved by the Higher Counsel at an ordinary meeting on June 8, 2012.

The main goal of the CET is to contribute to the strengthening of the institutionalisation of translation studies in Argentina.[22][23][24]
