This 3-credit course is designed to lay a solid foundation in students’ knowledge and skills of mass media and news translation. The weekly lecture will cover some basic techniques and principles that are used in news/mass media translation, as well as journalistic writing features. We will discuss students’ translation assignments in class; the job market and outlook of this profession will also be covered. Students will be exposed to a variety of text types selected from (but not limited to) newspapers, magazines, films, and television programs, with a focus on news coverage, editorials, feature articles, press releases, company profiles, advertisements, and scripts. This course demands a lot of hard work. Students are anticipated to take full responsibility in their own learning, and play an active role in class. Participation is crucial.
