Description Students perform introductory translation assignments from Spanish to English and vice versa. They develop an understanding of translation theory through reading and class discussion and come to understand communicative translation and compare it to a direct, word-for-word approach. Problematic grammatical, discursive, and pragmatic issues are analyzed and the grammar of Spanish is reviewed in detail.
Course Reflective: intro to translation was a fascinating class I ever took because in this class we learn how translating a paper from English to Spanish or the transversal it's not as simple as it looks. In this class we did many translations which I improved a lot my translation skills. Taking this class was another open door for a future job.
