Advanced French and Translation

This course fosters an in-depth knowledge of the French language and accuracy in its use. It employs a comparative approach (linguistic and cultural), initiating students into the art of translation from English to French and from French to English and sensitizing them to questions of cultural transfer. Students will acquire practical training, cultivating skills by drawing on a wide variety of contexts to develop translation strategies. Genres include fiction, prose, poetry, song lyrics, recipes, and correspondence spanning different eras, regions, and registers. This course satisfies the college's writing intensive requirement, but not the literature seminar requirement for the French major. Prereq: In Perspective
Course Attributes: EN H; AS LCD; AS LS; AS WI I
