Description The objective of this module is to allow students develop their communicative competence through an array of tasks that relate to meaning in context through L1 and L1/L2. Students will explore L1 meaning through formal structures and the similarities and the differences across L1 and L2. The proposed intra- and interlinguistic activities are typically focused on the various possibilities of communication. Students will work on: grammar, vocabulary, syntax, pragmatics and translation-related concepts like binary/non-binary mistakes. The module aims to provide the students with an opportunity to interact with language and communication in a meaningful way and prepare them to acquire a basis for general translation practice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
