Prerequisites :

None
Course contents :
Each class focuses on a specific grammar topic. Following a presentation of theoretical aspects, students participate in practical exercises.
In addition to further study of the grammar topics covered in the first year, the course covers:
- buoys,
- complex transfer structures (scale alternation, scale simultaneity);
- The use of eye gaze in LSFB.
Grammatical themes may not necessarily be covered in the order shown above.
For the translation course part :
Translation exercises of increasing difficulty and with a particular focus on selected difficulties that face translators translating from French into LSFB, that is, transferring meaning from a written language into a visual language (in 3D).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
Exercises (pratice sessions in lab, guided work)
Lectures
Personal progress monitoring
Assessment methods and criteria :
Grammar:
- Continuous assessment (attendance, homework) taken into account for the final grade
- Final assessment : video test and open questions (theory)
Translation A to C :
-Continuous assessment takes place during the semester
- Written assessment involving translating/commenting a text in French into LSFB (Translation into C)
Attendance is compulsory and unjustified absence for more than 1/3 of the classes or non-submission of required homework or presentation without any justification will mean no registration to the final exam. The student keeps the possibility to present his exam in August.
This module/course is subdivided into two parts (Grammar in Practice and Translation A-C ) and has two separate exams. The global mark is an average calculated with a weight of 50% / 50%.
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.
