This is a practice-oriented course at an advanced level. Students are required to translate texts of some length, by commission whenever possible, on an individual basis or in groups. Students will, under guidance, translate, edit and revise their own translations to satisfy the requirement of their clients, real or imagined, for quality performance. The course incorporates a strong element of experiential and work-related learning, using wherever possible, externally commissioned translation jobs, particularly those sourced and arranged through the student-run translation agency, the HKBU Translation Workshop.
