Lehrmethodik
Students will receive input from the course instructor in theory and on best practices relating to (professional) translation. Extensive practice is expected from students; copious examples and assignments will be made available in class and on Moodle. Students are expected to be very proactive in terms of engaging in the process of translation.
Inhalt/e
This is a practice-oriented course supplemented by relevant translation theory. Students are expected to attend class having completed the required reading and (practice) translation assignments so that they can engage with their peers and the instructor in order to gain a better understanding of the topic.
Generally speaking, this class will consider translation issues between English and German though other languages may be referenced to highlight certain theoretical and practical translation concerns.
Students with little to no knowledge of German must discuss this with the course instructor after the first session.
Erwartete Vorkenntnisse
This proseminar builds on the foundational theories covered in the introductory lecture on translation that is part of the BA curriculum. A very good knowledge of German is highly advised though not absolutely necessary; students not having B2 or higher in German should consult with the course instructor after the first class session.
