Aims and Objectives

The aim of this course is to teach students to read, understand, interpret and translate technical and scientific texts dealing with dietetics (intermediate level).

Another objective is to get the students to read scientific journals in English so that they can find other sources of information than those in their mother tongue.

Description

While reading, the students are progressively taught the differences in comparative stylistics so that they avoid translating too literally.

As to pronounciation, the teacher will make sure that all mistakes are corrected.
