| Aims and Objectives | The aim of this course is to teach students to read, understand, interpret and translate technical and scientific texts dealing with occupational therapy (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. Students will also be taught to understand an English speaker. |
| Description | While reading, the students are progressively taught the differences in comparative stylistics so that they avoid translating too literally. Even though it is a passive course, pronunciation mistakes will be corrected. |
