Course topics include an introduction to the art of translating, development of listening skills, translation from English into the target language, discussions in the target language on a variety of topics, contemporary cultural aspects, exercises in translation, introduction to foreign language literature, masterpieces in foreign language literature, translation of specific subject matter, onsight translation onto tape, simultaneous intepreting exercises in a simulated conference situation, consecutive interpretation, commercial and legal translation, and technical translation. Experience in translating both from English to the target language and from the target language to English is provided. Study abroad is strongly encouraged, and other program options include courses in technical and creative writing, public speaking, communications, other foreign languages, traditional liberal arts, and subject-related courses such as business administration or sciences. The program is designed to train students for graduate study in translating and interpreting, provides further training in a translator firm, and provides the student with an internship with an international firm overseas.
