Course programme

The course content is geared to the Diploma examination. The syllabus is taught through 8 assignments based on past examination papers or journalistic/academic texts of the same type, all with similar characteristics and linguistic issues. This means that work in the assignments will not give as much exposure to a broad range of translation issues as a course based on more varied texts. Knowledge of core translation principles is therefore assumed and the courses concentrate on perfecting technique rather than acquiring it. Work in each assignment is based on 2 SL texts: · Text 1 is used for text analysis, review of technique, resolution of translation problems and focus on specialised terminology. · Text 2 is used for translation and feedback.

  • Review of various translation theories and terminology
  • Text Analysis & Resolution of Translation Problems
  • Effective use of print dictionaries and reference works
  • Approach to journalistic and literary translation
  • Specialised translation - dealing with business, legal & technical terminology from limited (printed) sources; research & glossary compilation
  • Guidelines in examination technique, including providing translators’ notes, if applicable
