Herramientas informáticas para el trabajo con lenguas de especialidad.

Contextualización

La aparición e implantación de las tecnologías de la información y el conocimiento (TIC) en la sociedad actual ha supuesto un cambio profundo en los modos en que el ser humano se comunica e interactúa. El trabajo en lenguas de especialidad no es ajeno a estos cambios. En el ámbito académico y profesional han aparecido nuevas formas de comunicación e interacción digital entre profesionales que requieren del experto en lenguas de especialidad conocimientos técnicos específicos.

En esta asignatura se muestra una visión de conjunto de las herramientas informáticas de uso común para el profesional en lenguas de especialidad. Por un lado se trabajará con herramientas de tratamiento de textos digitales y gestión documental. Por otro lado, se expondrán diferentes herramientas informáticas para la enseñanza y la investigación en lenguas de especialidad.

Para cursar la asignatura con éxito se espera del alumno conocimientos suficientes en varias de las lenguas de especialidad impartidas en el Máster. El alumno que supere la asignatura tendrá las competencias suficientes para incorporar estas y otras herramientas informáticas similares a su práctica profesional.
