The course aims to improve practical skill in translation from Indonesian into English along with knowledge of translation principles. It deals with a wide range of texts from literature and the print media. Classes involve a good deal of work in small groups or pairs, mainly identifying translation problems and comparing and evaluating solutions. As well as preparing translations of their own, students will criticise published translations. A separate component of the course focuses on Colloquial Jakartan Indonesian. It aims simply to teach students to comprehend texts written in that variety, which is becoming the standard informal style of the language. |
