This course introduces students to translation studies through the examination of different approaches to the discipline, along with practical experience. Students review the grammar of the Spanish and English languages within particular contexts as the basis for translation practices. The course also enhances students' lexical and semantic knowledge of the Spanish language through an experiential component in the community.

Super heavy on content and readings, which were very boring and hard to read through, just about translation theories. Lectures were based on the readings but not engaging because none of us understood them. Probably would have been better if we were more engaged in the course. A few assignments that were just reflections on the readings (you get to choose which ones) and some irl translation application which was the most interesting part of the course.
