| Organization : | The course is based on exercises supplemented with theoretical explanations. Some sessions will be devoted to research work carried out in groups and oral presentations by students. Invited speakers will bring their professional insight to the course, on the specifics of the job of a translator-interpreter.
Several sessions, such as the analysis of written and audiovisual media or the interview with translators and interpreters, require a certain element of personal investment by students outside class hours.
Based on exercises carried out in class or at home and based on theoretical contributions which can have a practical application, teaching will focus on student participation, interactions within the group and individual involvement. |
