'This course is an introduction to the theory and practice of translation with a focus on reinforcing and advancing the student's knowledge of Spanish. Students will become familiar with key concepts and techniques involved in the discussion of the main issues in translation. Course work will include analysis of translations and extensive translation exercises of a variety of text types--medical, legal, literary, technical, etc.--mostly from English into Spanish and occasionally from Spanish into English. Those Spanish grammar areas considered to be more problematic for English speaking students will be reviewed through contrastive analysis and linguistic study at the advanced level.'
