MLAM01 Advanced Translation (English-Arabic)

In 16 x1.5hr small-group seminars running through Semester 1 and into Semester 2, students will translate, discuss and annotate both non-technical and technical texts. Practice assignments will grow progressively longer to reflect real-world conditions and students will on occasion be expected to work together, critiquing and editing each other's work to produce a collaborative finished version. Techniques for discovering domain-specific knowledge and translating technical terminology will be explored and developed. Assessment will be by three test translations in different domains done through the year under exam conditions (2 hours with dictionaries and/or electronic resources), each counting for 25% of the marks of the module, plus one Terminology Project or Wikipedia Project counting for the final 25%.
MLTM07 Healthcare Interpreting

In this module you will develop strategies and techniques to perform Simultaneous Whispering Interpreting (SI/WI) and Dialogue Interpreting (DI) (including some Telephone Interpreting (TI), plus an opportunity to try Sight Translation (ST)). The module covers a selection of topics from the following areas: the structure of the NHS and the equivalent national health services in the countries where the languages you study are spoken; various conditions and diseases (eg. of the circulatory, digestive, respiratory, reproductive, and urinary systems) - their symptoms, diagnosis and prognosis; mental health. There will be a mixture of interactive lectures on interpreting theory, ethics, and practice, plus live sessions, and language laboratory practical sessions. The assessment is an in-class test in the language laboratory (100%). A wide range of materials will be available on Canvas to aid practice of the different modes of interpreting in your own time. This module will also help prepare you for the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (Health), examined by the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIoL). This is optional and takes place in June / November (registration by April / October, CIoL fee applies).
MLTM22 Dissertation (Research)

Students who have successfully completed Part One of the MA in Translation with Language Technology or MA in Literary Translation may choose to present for Part Two (60 Credits) an academic Dissertation on an agreed topic in a field related to translation (eg Translation Theory, Contrastive Linguistics, Comparative Stylistics, Corpus Linguistics, Machine Translation, etc), in lieu of the Extended Translation(s) normally specified by the MA Regulations. Working under the guidance of an appropriate supervisor, they will define and research their topic and write it up in the form of a Dissertation of 15,000 - 20,000 words.
