SPAN 31800 - Introduction To Spanish Translation

Those who speak two or more languages often find themselves in situations in which they are asked to translate (in written form) or interpret (orally) from one language to the other. These tasks involve different skills than those practiced in most language development classes. This course introduces students to the history, theory, methods, techniques, and problems involved in translating from English to Spanish and/or Spanish to English. Students will also gain practice in the translation of simple documents (i.e.: newspaper articles, magazine articles, tourist brochures, etc.). This course is designed to prepare students for further studies in translation, including professional trainings and/or certification programs.
