Course objectives
The course is predominantly practical: it is designed to help students speed up the process of developing translation skills through focus on reflective practice in translation. It will involve a series of translation-related and translation activities, but not necessarily always translation as such as experienced in the Introduction to Translation course. Our attention will be on the translation process rather than product. Texts will be taken from the non-literary, but non-specialized-language domain. The theoretical basis of the course will be current research in the process of acquisition of professional translation skills.
Assessment methods (in Czech)
Students are expected to attend classes regularly and participate in class discussions. Regular preparation for classes and submissions will be required. The completion of the course will invoilve a final translation.
