Course Objectives: Students will learn basic skills for translating Arabic
texts into English. We will work with a variety of texts that may be
encountered by professional translators, including media articles,
political texts, and literary and consumer-oriented texts. Students will
learn to identify and develop translation strategies; while we work with
the field of translation, the course is designed to strengthen
second-language acquisition. This course is offered online in order to
reach a broad number of students interested in advanced study in Arabic
language and Arabic translation. The online format also replicates the real
working conditions of translators and allows students to learn not only how
to translate, but also how to be a translator in the digital age. Students
may take the course for either graduate or undergraduate credit.

Prerequisites: A grade of “B” or better in sixth semester Arabic,
equivalent, or consent of instructor.

This course is part of the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's new Arabic
to English translation track. For more information please see:
