In this course students will learn introductory techniques and principles of translation, review Spanish grammar and improve their reading and writing skills. The main objective of this course will be to develop the necessary skills in order to become proficient communicators in bilingual contexts. We will mainly use Spanish as a source language to translate an array of journalistic, literary, academic, and technical texts into English. At some specific instances, we will translate from English to Spanish to give students the opportunity to practice this skill as well. To enhance the practical component of the course, we will reflect on key theoretical issues related to translation practice through selected readings on translation as a process and as a product, cultural issues in translation, and the role of the translator today. Prerequisites: Successful completion of SPAN 301 and 305 or their equivalents with a C- or better in each course, (may be taken simultaneously with SPAN 305).
