Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to introduce theoretical basis and practical work on translation from English to Turkish with respect to linguistic considerations. It creates opportunities for the discussion of textual and dynamic equivalence. It also aims to create and improve skills of textual analysis based on theme/rheme theory.
Course Content: Introduction of theoretical basis and practical work on translation from English to Turkish

Learning Outcomes
