Translation workshop (legal texts) 15-WTTPR-TLU-11
The main objective of the course is (1) to practice translation of legal texts from English into Polish and in the opposite direction, and (2) to develop students’ terminology in the field of law. The students will learn how different translation strategies can be applied in the process of translating legal texts.
The classes will include: translation of short and longer texts, discussion/correction of translations done by the students at home, interpreting exercises (sight translation) and some vocabulary-extension exercises. The topics covered in class include: human rights, EU laws, criminal law, civil law, administrative law, translation of documents and certificates, and legal procedures.
Students are assessed on the basis of vocabulary tests, translations prepared at home, in-class translations and class participation. Course materials are available on the Moodle platform.
