|
| Course contents : | This course is a complement to course TRAD0038-1, taught in the first term of the first year. It introduces the fields of finance and economy as well as legal translation, but still includes a necessary reflection on methods. Here too we can face many different situations and/or expectations, and thus have to adapt the way we proceed. One of our guest speakers will be a representative of the economic world (CCI). |
|
| Course objective : | Develop students' translating skills.
Develop some awareness of economic mechanisms. |
|
| Prerequisites : | A good knowledge of the two languages and computer literacy. |
|
| Organization : | Second term in the second year of the Master's degree. See http://cipl82.philo.ulg.ac.be/horaires |
|
| Assessment : | Same kind of written exam as in the first year though obviously bearing on the kind of texts we translated during term-time.
The oral examination gives students the possibility to correct possible mistakes and is an opportunity for the teacher to explain how the translation process can be further improved. |
