2. Course Description: This is a weekly tutorial which is based on a practical approach. That is to say, it provides an opportunity for students to translate different types of texts from Arabic into English. Students will be translating texts (1) according to their function: narrative, informative, descriptive etc. and (2) according to their genre. Texts will be extracted from different books, magazines, newspapers, articles, etc. Students are also encouraged to take part in the course by delivering oral presentations.
3. Course Objectives: This tutorial aims at: 1. Enhancing students’ skills in translating short texts from Arabic into English. 2. Developing students’ skills in observing, analysing and commenting on translation activities at sentence, paragraph and text levels. 3. Enabling students to solve the lexical, grammatical and semantic problems in translation as well as the cultural and stylistic ones. 4. Enabling students to distinguish between different types of registers, genres and styles. 5. Developing students’ critical thinking skills regarding translation theoretical frameworks. 6. Developing students’ translation-related skills in doing research, presenting and using technology.

1. Advanced receptive and productive language skills. 2. Advanced-level reading skills of translation-related resources and of different text genres. 3. Appropriate use of monolingual, bilingual and multilingual dictionaries. 4. Manipulation of syntactic categories and structures in Arabic and English. 5.

Focus will be then on the following target skills: Advanced-level skills in academic presenting and writing. Production of electronic versions of translations & presentations using computers. Production/Final Translation of different short texts from Arabic into English. Higher-order skills: analysis of source texts, synthesis of ideas, criticism of translation theoretical frameworks.
4. Learning Outcomes: At the end of this course, students will autonomously be able to: 1. Produce equivalent translations of short texts from Arabic into English that have the same function and impact as the source; 2. Find solutions to different types of problems in the translation activity at sentence, paragraph and text level; 3. Produce cohesive and coherent translations. 4. Assess the quality of translated texts.
5. Work Method: This tutorial is mostly based on practical translating from Arabic into English in light of the theoretical debates over the quality of translation. As for the procedural method, students are, first, asked to translate the first paragraphs in the classroom. Second, their translations are corrected on the board to activate their translation skills and sub-skills in addition to their knowledge of the different translation methods and techniques. Third, students are assigned to finish their work at home to solve the remaining translation-related problems. Fourth, to foster students’ learning, they are encouraged to do oral presentations on cohesion and coherence matters. Fifth, students’ autonomy is also encouraged by giving them the opportunity to do extra activities.
6. Assessment Method 1. Follow-Up/On-going assessment: Attendance + oral presentation(s) + written version + translation(s) = 20/20 2. End-of-Term Written Exam: Content: The exam consists of translating a short text which reflects the different problems dealt with in class regarding translation from Arabic into English of a given genre of text.
