description The current digital and intercultural environments of professional translators' work require the application of interdisciplinary skills, which are inherent to the profession, as well as cybercultural skills. In this context, online forums have become an integral part of the daily work of the professional translator and they also are increasingly used in translation training. For this reason, their pedagogical potential deserves to be further investigated in different educational contexts (Sestopal & Gava, 2013, 2015). In these online environments, students' and teachers' interactions facilitate the learning process through the joint construction of knowledge and the application of consolidation strategies (Litwin, 2012; Mazzotti, 2005; Onrubia, 2005). As a result, participants acquire new roles. Students become more critical and creative learners who assume control of their learning, while the teacher is the facilitator, who provides socio-cognitive support, encourages collaboration, and promotes the construction of knowledge and the development of skills. In this work, which is part of a larger research project funded by SeCyT (UNC), these new roles are described and the interactions of the students and teachers are characterized in the debates of three types of forums used in two virtual classrooms of the Chair of Commercial Translation of the Faculty of Languages ​​(UNC). A qualitative methodology and an inductive and descriptive approach are applied for the analysis of the data. The main sources of data are the teachers' and students' contributions to the forum debates in relation to the translator process and the development of the translation competence (PACTE, 2003; 2011) and cybercultural competences (Levy, 2007). This paper concludes with the pedagogical implications of this research. The strengths and possible limitations of the online learning experience are mentioned and venues for future research and pedagogical applications of ICT in the field of translation teaching are also suggested.

Los entornos digitales e interculturales que caracterizan el ámbito laboral del traductor requieren habilidades tanto transversales propias de la profesión como ciberculturales. Los foros virtuales, en particular, constituyen parte integrante de la labor diaria del traductor profesional y son herramientas de uso cada vez más frecuente en la formación de futuros traductores. Por esta razón, sus potencialidades didácticas merecen ser investigadas en diversos contextos de aprendizaje (Sestopal y Gava, 2013; 2015). En estos entornos, se producen interacciones entre alumnos y docentes que promueven la construcción conjunta del aprendizaje mediante estrategias específicas de adquisición y consolidación del conocimiento (Litwin, 2012; Mazzotti, 2005; Onrubia, 2005). A su vez, los participantes adquieren nuevos roles. El estudiante se convierte en un aprendiz activo, crítico y creativo que asume el control de su aprendizaje, mientras que el profesor es el facilitador y acompañante sociocognitivo, que anima la colaboración y promueve la construcción de saberes y el desarrollo de diversas habilidades. En el presente trabajo, que forma parte de un proyecto de investigación avalado y subsidiado por la SeCyT, se describen estos roles y se caracterizan las interacciones de los alumnos y docentes en los debates en tres tipos de foros utilizados en dos aulas virtuales de la cátedra de Traducción Comercial de la Facultad de Lenguas (UNC). Se aplica una metodología cualitativa y un enfoque inductivo y descriptivo para el análisis de los datos obtenidos a partir de las intervenciones en los foros en relación con el proceso traductor y el desarrollo de la competencia traductora (PACTE, 2003; 2011) y las competencias ciberculturales (Levy, 2007). El trabajo concluye con las implicancias pedagógicas, las fortalezas y posibles limitaciones de esta experiencia de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Además, se reflexiona sobre futuras vías de práctica e investigación en cuanto a la aplicación de las TIC y la didáctica de la traducción.
