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. Some translation exercises will involve computer-assisted translation tools.
 

Teaching methods

Lectures and exercise sessions.

Evaluation methods

During the term: formative assessment.
January and August/September sessions: written examination.
Students are required to take one written examination per translation workshop (i.e. economic, legal, and scientific/technical translation) in connection with the topics dealt with during the term.
The final grade will consist of three integrated parts of equal importance. A pass (i.e. 10/20 or more) in at least two of the three parts is required to demonstrate the skills and knowledge laid out in the learning outcomes of the course. A failing grade (i.e. less than 10/20) in two parts of the course will result in a failing grade for the whole course. If the final mark is less than 10/20, the failed parts will have to be taken again during the August/September exam session. In case of an unjustified absence, students will have to take all three translation workshops during the August/September exam session. Students who have failed the course when the academic year ends will have to take all three translation workshops (economic, legal, scientific/technical) the following year.
The use of machine translation is strictly forbidden.
