DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to provide advanced instruction and supervised practice in translation from English into French and from French into English. During the course, students will be working with texts of moderate to high difficulty. Several text typologies will be entertained: different extracts from novels, short stories, poems, newspaper articles in both languages. Another part of the course will focus on the daily use of the French language. Indeed, it is worth mentioning that every class will start with questions of the students about what they have heard or read in-between the classes (lexical, cultural, daily life questions). For example, one student could ask about something he/she has heard said by his/her host family and which he/she didn?t understand. The course includes both theory and supervised practice.
