Description

This MA course consists of a variety of practical translation exercises from English into French covering a range of different texts and registers; the material includes literary, journalistic, advertising copy, ‘officalese’ and semi-technical texts.

This course will consist of 1-hour weekly seminars over two terms and it will be taught in French.

- foster the development of linguistic competence in French at an advanced level (comprehension of and ability to use and manipulate grammatical, lexical and idiomatic structures)
