Course contents
The Italian-French translation course will be based on authentic texts. The profession of translator will be described in depth.
The 40-hour module of translation into French aims to provide the linguistic, lexical and cultural tools to enable the student to translate authentic and specialised texts. The type of text will concern the tourism sector in its various aspects.
The course will therefore be based on an in-depth study of linguistic knowledge (syntax, grammar and vocabulary) in French as well as understanding the original text in Italian. Linguistic skills will be consolidated through pedagogical translation and discourse analysis exercises. Finally, a reflection on translation strategies and the various problems associated with them will be developed.
Lesson structure
Each student will be asked to do an individual translation of the texts, following (with a few variations) this scheme:
- collective discovery of the text: contextualisation, collective reading, identification of potential translation difficulties;
- documentary and terminological investigation: through research by the student and reading of French texts;
- in-depth study of grammatical and morphosyntactic notions
- individual translation of the text into French
- rereading and individual and collective corrections;
Readings/Bibliography
The texts to be translated will be provided by the lecturer by sharing them on Virtuale during the semester.

Teaching methods
The course is based on active participation by the student.
The translation work will be individual or collective (groups of 2 to 4) and the translated text will have to be sent by e-mail for collective or personal correction to take into account all difficulties and reflections.
Corrections made by the lecturer during the semester will not be subject to evaluation.
The course requires compulsory attendance of at least 70% of the lessons in order to have access to the examination.
