The Department of Translation at the Faculty of Arts and Languages at Tlemcen University organized the fifth colloquium in April 2025, titled "Towards an Alternative Academic and Professional Training," under the presidency of Dr. Ben Aïssa Ibtissem, with high-quality scientific supervision by Professor Zahour Grine. The event was attended by academics from various national institutions, professional translators, and academic experts in the field of translation and its teaching. The colloquium was also honored by the presence of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Languages, Professor Ghouti Hadjoui, and the Vice-Dean for Pedagogy, Dr. Ben Aïssa Azzedine, reflecting the growing significance of translation in both academic and national spheres.

The proceedings of this event began with a firmly established scientific conviction that thinking about translation and its teaching methods is, at its core, thinking about an intellectual and civilizational project with multiple dimensions. Translation is seen as a dynamic tool for transmitting knowledge and enriching cultural diversity.

The colloquium provided a vibrant platform for discussion and exchange of ideas among the various stakeholders in the field of translation, focusing on the prospects for developing translation teaching methods and ways to implement an alternative training that combines academic rigor with professional preparation.
