The objective of this course is to develop basic translation skills through the practice of translating English texts into Spanish. The approach would be methodological and practical: theoretical issues will be discussed to solve translation problems. After establishing the fundamental concepts, the course will progress to examine a series of important aspects of translation; cultural trans-position, phonic, graphic and prosodic problems, grammatical and lexical issues, language variety in texts, etc. Each aspect outlined will have a practical component in which students are given a concrete translation task to solve. Group and class discussions will follow. The aim of the course is to provide students with a general view of the mechanics of translation to then encourage the creative aspects of the process.
