Learning outcomes
|
Translation Seminar II focuses on further development of practical translation skills gained in Translation Seminar I. The whole seminar is based on working with texts in original as well as target language, textual analysis of the existing translations and participants own translation work as well as its analysis. Theoretical knowledge from the lectures in Introduction into the Translation Theory is applied here. In this phase the students work on translations from Czech into the English language.
Students will further enhance their competences in translating from Czech into English and their ability to analyze basic translation methods and their practical applicability. They will also improve their language competence in both their native and the target languages.
