Institution:

Molloy University

Subject:

Description:

This course is intended as an introduction to translation from English into Spanish and vice versa for students that already have considerable linguistic resources in both languages. Even though this is mainly a practical and hands-on course, it also involves discussion of issues related to Linguistics and Translation Theory that directly concern specific problems encountered in the translating process. The student will develop translation skills and strategies by being exposed to different types of authentic texts: journalistic, scientific, technological, literary, commercial and cinematic. In order to further improve the student's reading and writing skills, in both the Source Language and the Target Language, the course will also focus on grammatical and stylistic issues, as well as on textual analysis. Prerequisite: SPA 307 and a Literature course or instructor's approval. (Offered upon request) 3 credits
