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.

Formative assessment of the student's work over the course of the term.Summative assessment in January: written exam, to be corrected by a board of teachers.
Students will sit one exam per translation workshop (i.e. economic, legal, and scientific and/or technical); each exam will consist in the translation of one or several texts on matters in connection with the topics dealt with over the course of the term.
When two or three workshop are failed, the overall mark will be calculated by averaging the two lowest marks. In case of an overall fail mark, the failed parts will have to be retaken during the September exam session. A mark of 0/20 in one of the parts will, regardless of the overall result, mean that part will have to be retaken. Students who have failed the teaching unit when the academic year ends will have to retake all three translation workshops (economic, legal, and scientific and/or technical) the following year.
The use of machine translation is strictly forbidden.
