Overview
Translation 2 Module is designed for third-year students. This course enables students to analyze, choose relevant translation methods, practice translating long texts of different types, discover and find ways to solve the difficulties that arise in the translation process. In addition, learners are provided with methods to exploit open-source resources and self-study methods to do group exercises and to translate for personal interests.
The module draws students closer to the real-world work environment in the future because this module gives learners access to documents of various functions that often appear in everyday life and academic life which require translation: advertising, regulations, product manuals, and professional articles.
