Content
Translating texts relating to the fields of economics, law, science and/or technology.
Teaching methods
 Presentation of the topics. Preliminary reading of documents linked to course content. Documentary, terminological and phraseological research, translation of texts and documents with formative corrections. Individual and/or group work. The course unfolds in both classroom sessions (theory, explanations, Q&A, corrections) and out-of-the classroom sessions (search for terminology/phraseology, practical exercises).
Evaluation methods
Continuous formative evaluation of students' translations and evaluation for certification at the end of the teaching unit (written exam). September exam: translation of a text on the topics dealt with in the course.
When two parts of the Specialised Translation Workshops are failures, the EU will not be validated, regardless of the overall result obtained.
If, despite an overall result equal or superior to 10, the student has two failures, the final overall result will be calculated by averaging the two failures, and the failed parts will have to be retaken during the August session.
In case of global failure, the failed part(s) will be retaken.
If the EU is not validated at the end of a year, all the fields (legal, economic, scientific and technical) must be presented the following year.
