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 translators will face many different situations and/or expectations, and thus have to adapt their strategies. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Develop students' translating skills.
Develop some awareness of economic mechanisms (both on the macro and micro level) as well as of various legal systems and their specific terminology. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| A good knowledge of the two languages and computer literacy. |
|

|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face to face but necessarily involving working on computers.

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The written examination will be the same kind of challenge 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.
Students will also hand in a critical report on a theoretical text. |
