The aim of this teaching unit is to progressively take the students to the real-life working conditions of a translation project. Therefore, the students will have to manage the various stages of a translation project from English into German, from the purchase order to the delivery (administrative tasks, document and terminology research, translation, proofreading and revision). Among other tasks, the students will be asked to translate, in class and within a specific period of time, using computer-assisted translation tools if and when necessary, one or several texts pertaining to the fields of economic translation, legal translation and scientific or technical translation. 

Teaching methods

In-class sessions, in computer room

Evaluation methods

Formative and/or partly summative assessment of the student's work over the course of the term.
Summative assessment in January: written exam (translation project from Englisch into German ' one full day), to be corrected by a board of teachers. The written exam (summative assessment) will consist in the translation of one or several texts on economic, legal, scientific and/or technical matters in connection with the topics dealt with over the course of the term.

For students who have to re-sit the summative exam during a second session, the only grade taken into account will be the one obtained in September. The grade from the continuous assessment will not be taken into account.
