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.

Further references will be provided as needed.Teaching methods and learning activities
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. They will be presented and discussed in a final group session.
