At the end of the course, the student will demonstrate the ability to :

- translate a text of a medium or advanced level of specialisation into good quality French (orthographic, grammatical, stylistic and lexical), making good use of the resources of the French language (collocations, idiomatic expressions, etc.);
- identify the function of the text (to inform, to address a response, to polemicise, to promote, etc.) and the components of the message it conveys;
- transmit this message in French, respecting the author's intentions, the style and register of the original text and avoiding the pitfalls of copying;
- produce a translation that shows that he/she has understood and analysed all aspects of a text written in Turkish;
- apply with discernment the translation procedures seen in B1 and B2 in order to solve the difficulties inherent in the source text;
- check the meaning of words by judiciously using bilingual and unilingual dictionaries;
- validate the relevance of his/her translation choices by using, if necessary, and with the necessary distance, the electronic resources offered by several websites.
 
Content
Written translation C->A: a set of feature articles, usually from the weekly or monthly press, which the students must translate: individually. Pooling and correction in class. For the sight translation, the students will be asked to quickly decode the content of a text written in C and to render it orally in French, after a brief preparation. The correction will be individual.
Teaching methods
Second term:
- 15 hours of sight translation exercises;
- 30 hours of written translation exercises.
Attendance is required.
Evaluation methods
Second semester:
- Written translation: written exam in June. Translation into French of a text whose theme is close to the text(s) seen in the course (75% of the EU mark);
- Sight translation: continuous assessment, provided that the student has taken at least three tests (25% of the grade of the course).

August/September session: only students who fail the whole of MHTU1352 must retake the part(s) not passed.
- Written translation: written exam in August/September. Translation into French of a text whose theme is similar to the text(s) seen in the course;
- Sight translation: students who do not pass the test will have to take a laboratory test. This will be similar to the exercises carried out during the course.

The written tests (written translation), which are normally held in class, can be adapted to written tests at a distance if the health context so requires.
