English Academic Writing and Translation Skills (ITAL0034)

This module is designed to help Italian Affiliate students improve their translation and essay writing skills in English. 

For the translation classes, Affiliate students are allocated to the Final Year language groups to work on a range of texts. One half of each term is spent working on translation from English into Italian, the other half on translation from Italian into English, with different tutors. Students are encouraged to reflect on and discuss problems inherent in the practice of translation. 

The essay writing classes focus on the discussion of topics on which the students will write short essays in English. There will also be scope for discussion of issues generated by the translation classes. Students will engage with different registers and styles of English texts (such as journalistic, formal, popular song, academic, and poetry) and different varieties of English (such as regional dialects, slang, and idiomatic phrases). The module also includes a small component of revision of English grammar, and an analysis of the skills required to write essays in English, such as how to marshal and present arguments.
