This is a complete course, comprehending the most important aspects of translation studies. It provides, first of all, a good background on Spanish linguistics and culture as part of the Spanish Major, and then, in the Concentration in Translation, it provides the students with different fields of specialization and with practical experience using the most important translation tools.

Princeton University - Program in Translation and
Intercultural Communication |

Program Description |
Certificate Program: General Information
Issues of translation and intercultural communication arise everywhere in the contemporary world: in literary texts, on the internet, in television and film, in business, science, and in questions of human rights. How does one translate the language of a poem? How does one translate a legal system or concepts such as democracy, or happiness, or scapegoat, or hero from one culture and language to another? How does the brain perform translation? What are the languages of artificial intelligence? How do we translate meanings across disciplinary as well as international borders—from genomics to dance, from philosophy to film?
The Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication seeks to allow students to develop skills in language use and in the understanding of cultural and disciplinary difference. Translation across languages allows access to issues of intercultural differences, and the program will encourage its students to think about the complexity of communicating across cultures, nations, and linguistic borders. For this reason, all students in the program must have proficiency in a language other than English, and must also spend time living in a country where that language is spoken.
Though the program takes linguistic translation as its base, and has a strong international flavor, it also encourages students to study other forms of discourse, the languages of different scholarly disciplines, for example, and seeks to foster lively debates among the sciences, humanities, and the arts. All students enrolled in the certificate program are required to successfully complete the following:
The program’s two core courses: TRA 200 Issues in Translation and TRA 400 Senior Seminar in Translation and Intercultural Communication Translation Practices: At least one course selected from a small roster of courses in different areas. For this semester, students may choose from among the following courses:
· ANT 413 Cultures and Critical Translation · COS 402 Artificial Intelligence · CWR 305 Advanced Creative Writing (Translation) (also COM 355) · CWR 306 Advanced Creative Writing (Translation) (also COM 356) · LIN 216 Language, Mind, and Brain (also PSY 216) · PHI 317 Philosophy of Language · PSY 208 The Brain: A User’s Guide · Three additional elective courses selected from a list of approved courses (see below); substitutes must be approved by the program director. Students will be closely guided in their individual choices, and departments will be invited to make their own suggestions for their contributions to this certificate.
International Experience: Students wishing to achieve a certificate in the program will spend a year, a semester, or six weeks of the summer in a Princeton-approved course of study or internship program in an area where the chosen non-English language of proficiency is spoken.
Senior Thesis: Students in the program will write a senior thesis that incorporates issues of translation in one or more of its several senses. In departments where this option presents a difficulty, a student may petition to have another piece of independent work meet the requirement. Such projects may be completed, for instance, during a summer stay abroad.

Editor notes |

Instead of focusing on specific language fields as
other courses, the course looks at issues in
political theory, anthropology, artificial
intelligence, cinema studies, the United Nations,
literary publishing, and advertising that involve
the boundaries of interlingual translation and
intercultural communication to acquire a better
understanding of the problems and practices of
translation in the modern world. One key element of
the course to make good translators is the
international experience which is required for
students to receive a certificate having to spend at
least six weeks studying in another country. |

Union County College in Elizabeth, New Jersey - Interpreting Spoken Language Certificate Program
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Program Description |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Interpreting Spoken Language Certificate ProgramThe Interpreting Spoken Language Program trains bilingual individuals in the basic skills needed for professional work in interpreting and translating. Union County College offers three courses as part of a certificate program. Students from all language backgrounds may study in the program.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS. A high-level of proficiency in English and at least one other language is required for entrance into these courses. The College provides a placement test in English. Those wishing to study in this course must finish all developmental English and ESL requirements before registering for interpreting courses. Evaluation in one's other language is done by the student her/himself or in consultation with the coordinator of the program. It is recommended that the student have some college education in that language and be fluent both in speaking and writing.
CURRICULUM
Interpreting I focuses on the skills necessary for consecutive interpreting, the mode in which the student waits for the speaker to finish talking before interpreting into the target language. This is a slow and accurate form of interpreting that allows the class a chance to start to appreciate all the complexities of the interpreting process. Students become comfortable with their basic abilities as well. This mode of interpreting is also an important skill for working in certain court situations. The course is a prerequisite for continuing to study in the remaining two courses.
Interpreting II offers training in simultaneous interpreting and sight translation. Students gain at least a basic level of competence in simultaneously interpreting from one language to another, i.e. listening to one language while saying the same thing in the target language. Sight translation refers to the rendering of written text in the source language into spoken language in the target.
The Role of the Interpreter provides students with valuable information about professional issues related to employment in the field of interpreting and translating. Students learn the ancillary skills for building a career as a free lance language professional.
Introduction to Translation gives students training and experience in translating written documents from a source language into a target language. Students learn to use dictionaries and other reference tools in order to create accurate and faithful texts. Most work is done from other languages into English. Language consultants are used to evaluate texts the students produce in other languages. This course is worth three credits and is taken entirely online. Students interested in interpreting may take the INT or TRN courses alone or as part of the certificate program. The following courses are required in order to obtain the certificate in Interpreting Spoken Languages:
* Courses that satisfy this requirement are listed in the college catalog. For information about the College's tuition and fee schedule is available in the College catalog and on the College website. Students who reside outside of Union county may be eligible for a partial refund of tuition through the chargeback program. Direct inquiries about the chargeback program to the Admissions Office on any campus.
For September of 2009, we are offering two of our courses. INT 101-071 Simultaneous Interpreting will run on Wednesdays from 6:00 PM until 8:40 PM in Elizabeth beginning September 2, 2009. TRN 101-300 Introduction to Written Translation will be offered online. Both of these courses are required for the certificate and are open to speakers of any language. Registration will be open from May 11 for the Fall semester courses and continues until September 2. The Simultaneous Interpreting course (INT 102) and the Role of the Interpreter (INT 105) will be offered in January of 2010.

The course provides the student with everything he
needs to know about the technical aspects of
translation and consecutive and simultaneous
interpreting. One disadvantage though is that it
doesn’t offer specialization in any specific field
such as engineering, law or medicine. |
