Course objectives
The course is run as a workshop for a maximum of 15 participants. It offers the students the experience of a team work on a larger text. The course begins with the selection of the text. Texts for which a real demand exists are preferred, and ideally they are published at the end of the course. (Alternatively, the internet can be used for publishing the result.) The main part of the course consists of producing the translation, discussing it, and producing the final edition of the whole text. Students usually work independently on their respective passages, and then discuss and correct them in pairs or groups; the exact form of collaboration depends on the nature of the text - the organizational aspects of team projects form an integral part of the course. In selecting the texts, we shall rely on the Literature Online Fulltext Database, so that mastering this useful tool will be an additional effect for all participants.
