Content

- economic translation workshop ' Turkish/French (VANRIE Pierre): translation of texts addressing various theoretical approaches to economics, focusing on related vocabulary as well as on names and acronyms of international institutions.
The texts to be translated will give a general description of specific economic situations, leading to discussions on the economic situation of a given country, including but not limited to Turkey.
Without going into complex technical considerations requiring a high level of economic expertise, the course will set out to tackle various aspects of economic analysis (social, political or technological dimensions)
- legal translation workshop ' Turkish/French (VANRIE Pierre): translation of legal texts professional translators are most confronted with, such as contracts (CDD and CDI work contracts, rental contracts, etc.); family composition; calls for tenders; non-profit status.

Teaching methods

Personal tutorial work, face-to-face

Evaluation methods

At the end of the four-month period, students will be assigned a written translation four weeks before the deadline, to be determined some time in January (Q1)/June (Q2)/August-September (2nd exam period), as the case may be.
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
