The Workshops are designed to familiarize the students with key concepts in each field as well as to the relevant terminology, phraseology and style. They consist in repeated translation exercises under the guidance of the teacher. There is a special focus on documentary research, an essential step to grasp specialised subject matter and the ways in which it is generally expressed. Some translation exercises will involve computer-assisted translation tools such as concordancers.
A detailed list of resources will be provided to the students at the beginning of the Workshops.
