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 English into Arabic 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 English into Arabic 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 asked to do oral presentations on cohesion and coherence matters. Fifth, students’ autonomy is 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 English into Arabic of a given genre of text.
