Course title: <\/strong>Translation of Scientific and Academic Texts
Instructors<\/strong>: Dr. Nata\u0161a Pavlovi\u0107 and Dr. Snje\u017eana Veselica Majhut
ECTS credits: <\/strong>5
Status:<\/strong> Mandatory
Semester: <\/strong>7th
Enrollment requirements:<\/strong> The students must be enrolled in the graduate program in English Language and Literature, Specialization in Translation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Course description:<\/span><\/strong>
The course consists of four blocks. In each block the students translate specialized texts from a different field. The first three blocks deal with selected texts from the fields of social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. The final block is dedicated to texts from the area of business and economics. The translations are done from English into Croatian and from Croatian into English (approx. 60\/40).<\/span>
The coursework is organized around projects that the students do in groups, partly in the virtual environment, on http:\/\/omega.ffzg.hr\/<\/a> (Moodle). The students learn how to use printed and electronic resources to research the subject matter and build corpora and glossaries of terminology. They also revise their own and each other\u2019s translations, manage translation projects, cooperate with subject-matter experts and clients, and so on.<\/span>
Objectives:<\/strong> By the end of the course the students should be able to translate, individually and in groups, texts similar to those dealt with in the course. They should be able to identify translation problems in the text and to adopt strategies appropriate to the situation, the target readers, the client\u2019s 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. 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Course requirements: <\/strong>Regular course attendance, regular submission of assignments, participation in the online forums as requested. Students get their final grade on the basis of their \u201cportfolio\u201d (collection of translations done during the course, both at home and in class, individually and in groups).<\/span><\/p>\n
