Course description
This workshop aims at enhancing translation skills by concentrating on revising already-translated texts. The emphasis is neither on the source language (which will usually be English; reading comprehension in other languages is recommended but not required), nor on the target language (i.e. Hebrew), but on "the third element", which is translating skills. Using a series of texts in a wide range of genres, styles and subjects, we shall discuss the typical problems of translated texts and their revising. The study will be practically oriented – dealing with a different text every session – while, in this context, theoretical issues in translation studies will be considered as well.
