Open doors all over the world with the advanced study of French, Spanish or Japanese language, or a combination of two of these. You won’t just become fluent in your chosen language, you will also immerse yourself in the societies and cultures where those languages are spoken. You will learn to speak, understand, and write with precision, variety, and accuracy. You will develop the skills needed to engage in debates, and convincingly support your opinions. And you’ll explore the role of language and translation in today’s global communication networks. By the end of your degree you will be able to demonstrate critical thinking, sophisticated expression, and independence in your chosen language.
Throughout your degree you will perfect your language skills by studying translation, reading and listening comprehension, oral and written production, précis and paraphrase work, creative writing, and debates. You’ll also examine different styles and registers, grammar and lexical practice. Presentation skills are vital in the contemporary work environment, so you’ll also focus on developing your vocal and physical projection, improving poise and managing nerves, as well as learning to speak from notes, improvise and structure arguments coherently. You’ll also discover new perspectives on your subject by exploring culture, communication and translation. Topics might include popular culture in Japan and Latin America, contemporary Japanese and Spanish society, varieties of French spoken across the world, subtitling and dubbing, translation and media, and the study and practice of interpreting in conference and public service contexts. |
