Biography
After nearly ten years of teaching in France and New Zealand, Marc was appointed at Monash University in the French Studies and Translation & Interpreting Studies Departments. He has been involved in the curriculum design of units which he teaches and coordinates, at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Marc is a NAATI accredited professional translator and professional interpreter and a full member of AUSIT (Australia), NZSTI (New Zealand) and SFT (France).
He works as a freelance translator (literary, journalistic and technical translations) and as a freelance interpreter (conference interpreting, court interpreting, and liaison interpreting.)
In 2007, Marc was the recipient of the AUSIT National Award for “Excellence in Translating” for a translation which won its author, NZ journalist Jon Stephenson, the 2006 International Bayeux Prize for War Correspondents.
Research Interests
Because of his different professional paths, Marc has a strong interest in second language pedagogy and teaching methods, in the pedagogy and didactics of translation and interpreting studies, in the notion of fidelity in translation and interpretation, and in the methodology of evaluation of translations.
Marc is currently enrolled in a PhD which focuses on the training of professional translators and interpreters and more specifically on the synergies between academic research, professional practice and language didactics.
