This course is intended to introduce L3 students to the real world of translation in a straightforward and engaging manner.Throughout the course, we will investigate what it genuinely means to transfer meaning from one language to another, not simply word for word, but idea to idea and culture to culture.
The course contains a variety of theoretical material, such as an overview of translation theories and an examination of equivalence, as well as practical translation exercises that cover both simple and complex sentences, idiomatic expressions, and culturally bound phrases.
By the end of the course, students will have acquired the critical thinking abilities required to assess, evaluate, and produce high-quality translations in a variety of contexts.
