Content
These Workshops aim at introducing the students to specialised translation from Spanish into French of texts relating to the fields of law, economics, technology and/or science.
 
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.
 
Teaching methods
Contact hours in computer room
Evaluation methods
Formative assessment throughout the term.
Summative assessment at the end of the term in the form of a written exam (translation from Spanish into French) in each Workshop. The overall result is the average of the three marks.
When two parts of the Specialised Translation Workshops are failures, the EU will not be validated, regardless of the overall result obtained.
If, despite an overall result equal or superior to 10, the student has two failures, the final overall result will be calculated by averaging the two failures, and the failed parts will have to be retaken during the August session.
In case of global failure, the failed part(s) will be retaken.
If the EU is not validated at the end of a year, all the fields (legal, economic, scientific and technical) must be presented the following year.
