Translation Teachers? Course at Tel Aviv University
For the 16th time, the once-a-week course at Tel Aviv University will be
preparing English teachers to introduce students to the skill ? or is
it an art? ? of translation. Offered in the 11th and 12th grades in
high schools throughout the country, the translation course prepares
students for a separate 2-point bagrut. More important, it offers
insights into the workings of English and of Hebrew, as well as an
unusually broad range of texts, styles and topics. Finally, it draws
attention to the tricky challenge of translation, and the myriad
differences between Hebrew and English.
The year-long course for teachers is offered on Wednesday afternoons
(4:30 till 7:30) on the campus of Tel Aviv University. It will be
taught this year by Miriam Sheppes, a longtime teacher of translation
at Beit Berl College, who has also taught the translation course to her
own high school students. The academic advisor is Dr. Miriam Shlesinger,
head of the Translation Department at Bar Ilan University.
The course focuses on translation from English into Hebrew (the native
language of most of our students), which means, of course, that the
teacher too must have a fluent command of both languages. Material
covered includes practice in translating different types of texts, as
well as systematic discussions of typical differences between
languages. In fact, 30 points of the bagrut exam relate to students?
ability to analyze the problems they encounter.
