What You'll Learn
MLL105 introduces the history, concepts and issues in translation. It will provide an insight to the approaches and methods used in translation today. The course will also provide students an opportunity to engage in practical sessions of translating texts of different genres., in particular, literary reports and instructive texts. The course will provide a review of the history of the field from its early days to its recent revival as an academic area in the 1960s. We will scaffold the understanding of translation in action whilst students are engaged in actual translation so that they can apply the different approaches and techniques in a practical manner so that there is deep learning. We foresee a deeper understanding of translation by weaving in text and discourse analysis as well pragmatics in resolving translation issues in class.
