This module is designed for those who have registered to sit IoLET Diploma in Translation examinations the following January. It will facilitate the further development of your translation skills, your awareness of translation challenges and your ability to work autonomously towards a professional standard. The course aims to build up final impetus, prepare you for the pressure of the examinations and ensure that your translation skills, as well as examination technique, are fully polished.
Modules 1 and 2 consist of six assignments and two 30-minute tutorials by telephone, Skype or email. The modules follow the pattern of the IoLET’s examination, so you will be practising general and semi-specialist translation. Assignments will normally be Chartered Institute of Linguists exam papers. Please note that students bear the cost of telephone tutorials.
