| Course description | Building on the experience gained in Greek Language (A), the course aims to promote linguistic accuracy, to improve skills in translation from Greek into English, and to develop stylistic and generic awareness. Such skills are cumulative and by the end of the fourth year should have reached an appropriately advanced level. Half of the course will relate to regular written practice in unseen translation, with feedback both by individual annotation and by discussion in tutorial when work is returned. Half of the course will relate to the study and discussion of style and genre, with passages from texts prescribed for the purpose. Oral discussion and formative written work will provide the opportunity for feedback on progress. |
