As the title goes, the course provides an overview of the main features of translation and interpretation. The course starts with the translation section and ends with the interpreting one. Concerning translation, the course provides participants with general stages a translator has to go through if s/he wants to be successful at producing the last translated version. Besides the general methods of translation , s/he has to be aware of the process of translating and problems related to equivalence (i.e. at word level and above word level). Last but not least, categories of translation will also be introduced so that participants may have an idea of the differences between general translation and specialized translation (e.g. literary translation, commercial translation, legal translation, etc.). With reference to interpretation, participants will be introduced to consecutive interpreting without note-taking and then with note-taking. Simultaneous interpreting will also be introduced so that participants can get a feel for what it is.
