Objectives:
This course is to help students to read, think, and translate selected words and short
patterns well. In other words, it does not go beyond the word level translation. The
sentence level translation is given at Translation 11 course. This course, Translation
1, focuses on vocabulary, cultural equivalents, and the transformations observed as
these equivalents are translated. It gives students a plenty of opportunities to
practice translating mainly from English into Arabic. The course, begins with an
introduction to translation theory and practice. This introduction includes
linguistics and translation terms such as communication, language, translation,
transliteration, text, context, formal equivalent, and dynamic equivalent. Then the
word parts will be explained and translated. These are the noun, the pronoun, the
adjective, the verb, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the
interjection. For this type of class, the only way to improve your translation skill is
to practice. Mistakes are okay. Special emphasis will be laid on correctness of
structure and accuracy of word use. The success of this class depends on everyone’s
participation.
