Description

Third-year English-to-French and French-to-English translation classes will consolidate students’ reading, writing, and translation skills in both languages. While developing and reinforcing the study of translation concepts and methods, the courses will focus more particularly on writing styles and strategies. Students will translate extracts from literary works, journalism, essays, or historical documents, so as to familiarize themselves with different types of discourse and registers of language.
 
 Students will again work at building up and consolidating their English vocabulary. They will be responsible for studying chapters from Le mot et l’idée 2, Anglais, by Jean Rey, Christian Bouscaren, and Alain Mounolou (Editions Ophrys, 2012; «nouvelle édition 2012-2013»/«édition actualisée»). Le Mot et l’idée 2 will be studied in both French-to-English and English-to-French translation classes.
 
 NB. Students are very strongly encouraged to acquire and use a unilingual English learner’s dictionary habitually and systematically (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, for example); a unilingual dictionary greatly facilitates the acquisition of vocabulary and should be the cornerstone of every student’s English studies. Students are also encouraged to read as much and as widely as possible in both English and French.
