Français et portugaisObjectives
Development of skills needed to deliver quality translation services.
Learning outcomes and competences
Students who successfully complete this class should be able to:
1. carry out the basic tasks required in the various phases of a translation project (pre-translation, translation, post-translation) so as to achieve a revisable quality standard of translation;
2. conduct a functional, pragmatic analysis of narrative, expository and argumentative texts at macro- and micro-structure levels in order to identify the text’s main function and the translator’s needs in terms of language and information;
3. distance themselves from the source-text to produce a translation that exactly meets the final user’s needs;
4. carefully select and to appropriately use available online or human resources to solve translation-related problems;
5. justify their choices;
6. work in a team with a view to achieving better translation solutions.

Interactive and task-oriented approach.
General concepts and methodology will be introduced through brainstorming and research on the Internet. Tools and other resources will be discovered, assessed and shared in class.
Classes will be eminently practical, in classroom or remotely. Students working on different translation tasks in groups under the guidance of the class teacher. Feedback will be provided on each task. Some of the translations will have to be revised following the comments and suggestions received from the teacher and peers. All students will take an active part in the joint process of analysis, enquiry, asking and answering questions, giving and taking ideas, opinions, and reasons for translation choices.
Project works will be carried out individually during the whole semester, and feedback will be provided and discussed in a final group session.
