Teaching methods and learning activities
The starting point will be the analysis of some technical and scientific texts in order to identify their specificities and the challenges they present to the translator.
Students will use CAT tools to carry out translation projects in groups under the guidance of the class teacher. 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. Feedback will be provided on each task, and translations will be revised following the comments and suggestions of the teacher and peers.
Each student will translate a scientific or technical document treating a subject of his/her choice. This individual project work will consist of an analysis grid (provided by the teacher) duly completed, a terminology and phraseology database, a translated document, and a translation memory.
