Information

OBJECTIVE

To become aware of writing strategies, rhetorical strategies and stylistic tools and their impact on the reader/listener. Students should be able to develop their own style in dealing with different subject-matter and types of texts (in both oral and written form).

CONTENT

Using a variety of written texts (including practical examples from a translator's desk) as well as recordings of spoken language (e.g. interviews, podcasts etc) we will analyse them and look at what makes them interesting and effective - or not.
METHODS

Weekly reading and listening assignments. There will also be individual and group presentations.

Assessment and permitted materials

Regular attendance is mandatory (only two absences allowed)
Assessment will be based on the following:
- 1 mid-term test (30%)
- 1 final test (30%)
- Group assignment (20%)
