Dutch

On completing the ‘translation into French' (B3) component, students should be able to demonstrate their ability to:

- Translate a moderately specialized text into well-written French (well-written in terms of spelling, grammar, style and lexicon) making effective use of the linguistic resources of the French language (collocations, idiomatic expressions, etc.);
- Identifier a text's function (inform, provide a response, engage a/in controversial debate, promote something, etc.) and the different components of the message it seeks to convey;
- Transfer this message in French respecting the author's intentions, as well as the style and register of the original text and avoiding errors of calque;
- Carry out a translation demonstrating that they have understood and analysed the Dutch language text in all its aspects;
- Evaluate the appropriateness of possible equivalent text, selecting the most appropriate through a process of ‘negotiation' with the text (ref. Umberto Eco);
- With discernment apply the translation techniques learnt in B1 in order to resolve the difficulties inherent in the source text and develop awareness of the nature of the translation process;
- Check the meaning of words through judicious use of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries;
- Verify the correctness of their choices by making use of, where appropriate, and with due circumspection, the electronic resources provided by a range of internet sites.

In case of a fail grade, you're invited to visit the MOODLE page of the course and check the details. A 10/20 or higher mark will automatically be transferred to the second or third exam session. It's thus not possible to re-sit the exam related to this part of the course.

A bibliography with comments is provided in class.
