課程概述

This practical course focuses on training students’ competence in translating from Chinese into English (C-E). On the basis of scaffolding learning, the course consists of two parts. The first section lays foundation for students to develop a critical eye towards the primary issues in translation as a whole and most importantly those when the directionality of C-E translation is concerned; these include the lingua-cultural understanding of the two main languages; the para-translation skills vital to the actual translation process; the essential translation techniques in dealing with C-E translation; and the awareness of avoiding Chinglish in translation. The second part zooms in to the translation of specific text types aiming at familiarising students’ with the linguistic and textual features of each textual domain.  

課程目標
  To develop critical thinking about various issues and difficulties rising in the translation process
 To develop awareness of translation problems when translating from Chinese into English
 To understand the similarity and disparity of cultural mind-set and linguistic structure between Chinese and English
 To develop decision-making and problem-solving skills during the translation process
 Be able to acquire useful revision and editing skills of English output
 To understand that the translation rendered should be a final product that is the result of careful thought and thorough discussion
 
課程要求
  Complete and submit the weekly or fortnightly assignments (translation and commentary) for the purpose of peer review and in-class discussion at least TWO days before class (see instructions in class)
 Present their translation commentaries and peer-review in the first part of classes
 Understand that any unjustified absence and late submission of assignments for up to two times will result into a ZERO of the entire assessment
 Not submit any overdue coursework/assignments without any prior discussion/negotiation with the course coordinator; in general, an extension will only be granted for serious circumstances that require compassionate consideration, such as sudden serious illness, loss of family or a car accident
 NOT expect spoon-fed teaching from the lecturer
 Be proactively participating in their own learning process, both in and after class, including (in-class) translation practice, self-critic, peer-review as well as mini presentation on a regular basis
 Be able to work individually on and responsible for their coursework, including paying attention to details when writing assignments and punctual submission of any types, either through e-mail or in hard-copy
 Be good team players when pair/teamwork is required
 Use NTU e-mail as the channel of the first point of contact
 Discuss with the lecturer with regard to their learning process at any time during the semester

*The final version is to be announced at the beginning of the semester.
*The class content schedule may change according to students’ learning needs, learning processes and/or learning speeds.
