This course proposes an initiation to the combined theory and practice of translation between French and English. Students will engage with knowledge of what translation can be and do in different social and cultural contexts. They will learn to distinguish the semantic and stylistic differences between French and English in order to translate short texts from French to English and from English to French. This course is intended for students who have native or advanced command of French.
