Objetivos

Although this course builds on previously acquired theoretical premises, it is essentially of a practical nature aimed at:

- developing students’ general knowledge and knowledge of specific areas, while cultivating a certain curiosity for what is going on in the world around them;

- raising students’ awareness towards the different types of text and the various implications, past and present, involved in the process of translating;

- drawing students’ awareness to the many demands and difficulties translators come up against in their working sphere;

- familiarising students with useful translating tools: dictionaries (Monolingual, Bilingual, Technical, Multilingual, Synonyms, Proverbs, etc.), encyclopaedias, and other reference books, glossaries, databases and Internet sites;

- equipping students with basic translating techniques and giving them the opportunity to exercise these by discussing and translating a wide variety of text types;

- getting students used to working at a quick and effortless pace and to always have a critical attitude towards their translation, as well as getting them used to working individually and/or in a group;

- developing students’ knowledge of both the foreign and the mother language, above all when considering the precision and word management involved in translating;

- contributing to the development of students’ capacities to produce correct, clear, coherent and precise texts that are in the appropriate register and are written in clear and accurate Portuguese.
