GER 279 - Translation Practice This course combines insights from Translation Studies, applied linguistics, and German cultural / literary studies in order to develop skills and experience in translating literary and non-literary genres, including song texts, short essays, advertising blurbs, everyday speech, and selected writings from the disciplines of law, international relations, economics, medicine, and biotechnology. Students explore how to negotiate literal and connotative meaning across idioms, cultures, communities, and symbolic systems. Thanks to our small class sizes, students will receive individual attention, immediate feedback, and intensive mentoring from professors and invited specialists, giving students a broad perspective of the professional field and greatly accelerating students’ development.
