Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this course, selected texts from the engineering and natural sciences will be studied in the context of a given translation task and translated between Chinese and German. This would include sharing and reflecting on one's own work in the form of presentations, discussions of terminology and research techniques, and explorations of alternative translations in light of scopos-theoretical concerns.
Assessment and permitted materials
Two tests (40% each), active participation and homework (20%)
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Developing an awareness of comprehensibility as a measure of quality in specialized translations. Familiarize students with culture-specific text composition conventions. The course will include reviewing terminology and research methods, presenting and reflecting on individual and group work, and discussing translation options from a scope-position theory perspective. Evaluation criteria will be communicated later in the semester. A minimum of 60 points is required for a positive assessment.
