LITERARY VERSION OF THE TALE "OS OLHOS", BY ROSALIE GALLO E SANCHES: COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCE AMONG SPANISH TEACHERS IN INITIAL TRAINING

Abstract

In the Bachelor of Arts in Literature, training professional translators is often neglected, yet pedagogical translation is crucial for language learning. As Spanish Language students at UEPB, we share our experience in the elective "Theory and Practice of Translation". Despite the pandemic, we collaboratively translated the tale "Os Olhos" by Rosalie Gallo y Sanches from Brazilian Portuguese to Spanish. Our study aims to report this literary translation experience. Specific goals include understanding the process by Spanish teachers in training, cataloging technical procedures, and justifying methodological choices. Divided into teams, we reflected on the translation process both procedurally and in its final form. Drawing on Nóbrega (2020) and Barbosa (2020) for theoretical support, we present the tale translated into Spanish and a reflective diary detailing the process. Analyzing the corpus revealed linguistic nuances between Portuguese and Spanish, prompting critical reflection on our strategies. This research enhances pedagogical practices in literary translation, offering theoretical and practical insights for language teaching and learning improvement.
