Throughout the module, participants will become familiar with different types of simple text translations which will help them identify their translation preferences and potential. The classes include translation exercises from English into Polish and vice versa, with an emphasis on basic translation strategies and techniques, as well as an introduction to computer-assisted translation tools. This module serves as an introduction to further study in translation studies and specialized written translation.
