AL 5316 Theory and Practice of Translation
(3 semester hours)
After completing this course, students will be able to explain the basic principles of transferring meaning across languages and cultures, and to compare different approaches to translation. They will be able to explain and discuss at least one theory of translation. They will also be able to explain and discuss methods for training and facilitating national colleagues in the process of translation. They will recognize common translation problems and applied methods for finding solutions. They will have translated selected texts into their mother-tongue (or, completed a translation simulation exercise), and also tested these translations to evaluate accuracy and communicative effectiveness, and improved and polished the translation into a final form.
