Programme: Specialised Translation for Technical, Economic and Social Sciences - distance learning (from 2021/22/Term 2)
Subject Role: Compulsory
Recommended semester: 0
Objectives
Based on the competences learned and improved in the previous semesters, this course is designed to synthesise and further develop the competences and skills acquired earlier. It most importantly aims to expand the specialised vocabulary related to specialised texts, to teach the structures of these texts and to enable the creation of similar products. Students are introduced to additional colloquialisms and idiomatic expressions and learn to be able to proficiently use these. It is designed to enable students to use their four core skills to express themselves correctly and in a polished way, both in writing and speech, to communicate their viewpoints and to defend those using the correct connectors and cohesive devices.
