Introduction to Translation and Interpreting, Theory and Practice

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Students will explore translation theory, ethics, preparations, procedures and techniques by means of Monica Baker's In Other Words: A Coursebook on Translation. Together with an advanced language text to improve language skills, and selected readings to provide a strong preparation for meaningful interaction with their community partners, the course will provide real-world opportunities for application and feedback for the skills the students develop. Students will be expected to work with the community partner for 10-12 hours per semester, which typically entails a visit once per week to the partner site.
