This module introduces students to the advanced practice of translation, with a particular focus on different texts from across the Spanish-speaking world. The module equips students with the skills for understanding and engaging with specialised texts (technical, legal, medical, institutional, and marketing) in Spanish. Students will be expected to complete weekly translations as part of this module.
Working across a variety of translation-based tasks, students will learn how to deploy different translation strategies, work to a translator’s brief, understand the lifecycle of a translation project, compile a translator’s glossary, and carry out the necessary research for grappling with new texts. This module will also offer students an opportunity to practice their sight translation skills, which are essential for many areas of professional practice.
