| 授業概要 Course Description |
The aim of this course is to introduce different aspects of translation and interpretation from Japanese into English (NOT English into Japanese, which is taught in another course, "Translation and Interpreting A"). Classes will provide practical training exercises in the two skills, which are very different. You will also study about theories and methodology that can help you translate and interpret better. We will discuss the importance of cultural awareness, specialist knowledge, appropriate registers in speech and writing, and stylistic differences between Japanese and English. You will get feedback for your written translations and for your oral interpretation. Understand your strengths and weaknesses.
|
| 到達目標 Class Goals |
To become capable of rapidly and accurately translating from Japanese into English, both in written and spoken situations.

授業に関する注意事項
Remarks for Class |
An ability to do translate from Japanese to English is a plus in many occupations today. This class will NOT make you into a professional translator or interpreter. That would require much more training at an advanced level. However, you will learn if you have an aptitude for translating or interpreting, giving you plenty of practice in skills that will be of use in the future in a range of careers. Some of the topics will be based on current news items. As part of your daily routine, you should read English-language news stories on different topics and listen to radio news bulletins in English. YouTube is another valuable resource. I will share information about apps I use for Mac OS and iOS. Share your recommendations. Window and Android users should share recommendations.
