This course provides an introduction to translating from German into English. Rather than focusing on theory, it aims to provide a practical insight into the translation process. In class, you will work on typical translation problems caused by grammatical and lexical differences between the two languages. Each week, we will focus on a specific grammatical or structural issue that arises from the significant differences between English and German, and their respective textual cultures. In addition to classwork, you will be expected to produce a translation each week, applying the skills covered in the previous class. As translating into English requires an intimate knowledge of the language more than any other activity, you will also have the opportunity to improve your general English language skills. |
