ETI 499 is a project-based learning course in which students carry out an independent translation project under the supervision of an instructor. The course begins with the formation of research groups, a literature review, and the selection of appropriate texts; it then proceeds through collaborative, in-depth analysis of translations of the selected texts produced by both humans and artificial intelligence. By questioning translation strategies through the “why” and “how” of translation decisions, students develop their own translation proposals. Supported formatively through presentations and feedback sessions throughout the semester, the process concludes with the submission of a comprehensive project report that integrates analysis, critique, and application.

In this course, students will be able to assess the importance of translators and translations in Eastern and Western traditions by focusing the world translation history.
