Training and practice in the translation of sentences and short paragraphs related to basic communication, giving particular attention to the contrasts between the grammars, lexicons and information formats of Portuguese and Chinese.

General theories of translation applied to written and oral Portuguese-Chinese texts (Continuation). Examination and analysis of some reference translations, review of procedures and evaluation of the major questions and issues arisen.

In this module students will complete work practice by intership, or complete a translation project. Students will be expected to take the lead responsibility for undertaking tasks, whilst under the supervision of an experienced professional and a university tutor. Students will utilise the skills and knowledge acquired in the modules. Whether in schools, libraries, communication media, or offices or companies, students should put to a test their skills in the Portuguese language, in supporting tasks or people. As an alternative, with the supervision of a university tutor, students can develop a translation project, directly concerned with skills, procedures, contents and issues contemplated in the course, on a topic and area chosen by the student in consultation with the instructors.
