Course title: Translation of Scientific and Academic Texts
Instructors: Dr. Ivana Bašić and Dr. Anda Bukvić
ECTS credits: 5
Status: Mandatory
Semester: 1st
Enrollment requirements: The students must be enrolled in the graduate program in English Language and Literature, Specialization in Translation.

Course description:
The course consists of four blocks. In each block, the students do individual and group translations of specialized texts from a different field. The fields covered include social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. Texts are translated from English into Croatian and from Croatian into English (approx. 60/40).

The coursework is organized around authentic and simulated translation projects done partly in the e-learning environment, on http://omega.ffzg.hr/ (Moodle). The students learn how to use printed and electronic resources to research the subject matter and build corpora and glossaries of terminology. For some fields they learn how to use translation memory systems. They also revise their own and each other’s translations, manage translation projects, cooperate with subject-matter experts and clients, and so on.

Objectives: By the end of the course the students should be able to translate, individually and in groups, various types of specialized texts. They should be able to identify translation problems in the text and to adopt strategies appropriate to the situation, the target readers, the client’s requirements, and so on. The students should also be able to use parallel texts to build their own glossaries of specialized terminology. They should be able to use search engines and online resources for terminology mining and subject-matter background reading. For some fields and text types, they should be able to work with translation memory systems. The students should also be able to do on-the-spot translations of short, relatively simple texts from the specialized areas dealt with in the course, without the help of aids other than their own glossaries of terminology.

Course requirements: Regular course attendance, regular submission of assignments, participation in the online forums as requested. Students’ final grade is based on continuous assessment, including translation projects and on-the-spot translations.

Semester: 1st and 3rd term of graduate studies
Status: elective
Form of instruction: two  lectures and one seminar per week + e-learning
Assessment: continuous assessment components (50 per cent)  and a term paper (50 per cent)

OBJECTIVES: After finishing this course the students should  be able to: detect underlying  socio-cultural components of a text and deploy strategies for their most appropriate transposition; analyze the intercultural components of a text in the light of theoretical models and concepts; analyze and deploy various strategies in order to translate a text in a manner that respects cultural conventions; justify translation choices while maintaining a critical distance.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course addresses the following themes: various concepts of culture and their relevance for translation; intercultural competence; applicability of functionalist approaches to translation; text types and genres; culture-specific features of text types and their implications for translation; analysis of concrete text types; the impact of the implied reader on the translator’s decisions; coherence and cohesion of the source and target text.

MODE OF INSTRUCTION:
The course combines lectures and seminar work (2+1). The students are expected to read the literature before the lectures and participate in seminar discussions (both in class and in the virtual environment on http://omega.ffzg.hr/ (Moodle). The students are also expected to apply the acquired knowledge in assessed written assignments (analysis of the selected aspects of source and targets texts, commentaries on the advantages and disadvantages of certain strategies in particular communicative situations, etc.) and a term paper.  

COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT:
Regular attendance, preparedness for class, active participation in class and in e-learning, regular submission of assessed assignments. The final grade is based on the continuous assessment of particular course elements (attendance, active participation in class and in e-learning, timely submission of assessed assignments) and the term  paper.
