In the first semester, the work will consist of translating passages in class which have been prepared during private study. Advanced grammatical analysis will also be practised. In the second semester, unseen passages will gradually be introduced in class to supplement private study. The course will also give students the opportunity to consider theoretical and practical implications of translation. |
