Comp Lit 482 is the second part of a two-semester Certificate in the study of interpreting and translation across a range of contexts. In this course, students will continue to build on the knowledge and skills they acquired in the previous semester. The course is structured around four social and professional domains in which interpreting and translation play a significant role: Diplomatic, Healthcare, Business, and the Law (Court/Prison/Police, International Tribunals and Truth and Reconciliation Committees). Students will work on understanding the institutional and discursive structures of these particular domains, gain relevant vocabulary in English and other languages, and practice translating, sight translating and interpreting a variety of relevant texts.
