Teaching Methodology
The German Foreign Language (DaF) skills will be broadened and deepened, and the specific skills required for translation will be developed: On the one hand, the global competences and communicative skills of the foreign language, on the other hand, the special linguistic competences in German as a Working Language for Translation, with special emphasis on those which are of pragmatic, intercultural and contrastive relevance for translation (B-A), heuristics or instrumental for language learning (kulturpaarspezifischen pragmatischen Kompetenzen, Lernfertigkeiten, instrumentale Fertigkeiten).
Overview:
With regard to the specific text competencies, the text progression of the German B subjects will be dealt with in B1 (first semester), especially classes and types of texts with the so-called German macrostructures: Deskription/Beschreibende Texte (Objekt- und Prozessbeschreibung), Chronik (Ergebnisbericht versus Ereignisschilderung) and corresponding functions - and in B2 (second semester) especially classes and text types with the so-called German macrostructures: Chroniken (Ergebnisbericht versus Ereignisschilderung versus Erlebniserzählung) and corresponding functions.
With regard to the specific text skills, we will deal with - following the textual progression of the German B subjects – in B3 especially with classes and types of texts with the so-called German macrostructures: Explizite und implizite Argumentation (Erlebniserzählung, Werbetext; explikative und appellative Argumentation) and corresponding functions, and - in B4 especially classes and types of oral texts with written basis, and critical or essay texts with so-called German macrostructures: Explizite und implizite Argumentation (Interview, Streitgespräch, Debatte, Rede; Rezension, Glosse, Essay) and corresponding functions.
The character of the subject is theoretical-practical. It will deal with the basics of textual analysis (linguistic and translatological), reception and textual production in German. All knowledge, skills, strategies and activities of the subject will be developed through by meta-working with and on texts (standard models and current examples).
Training activities
Except for point f, the following chronological process applies in the processing of the above-mentioned types of texts:
a. the development of strategies and methods of reading and textual comprehension;
b. the development of strategies and methods of textual analysis (linguistics and grammar of text, translation analysis),
c. the treatment of typical linguistic and intercultural B-A problems manifested in current texts, followed by grammar and/or performative tasks or exercises or corresponding detection tasks;
d. the systematization of textual synthesis and the bases of linguistic mediation through periphrasis, reformulation or explanation of textual contents;
e. the improvement of textual production in German (production of specific copies following text models) and the revision of defective texts;
f. the preparation of specific genres of university studies (e.g. abstract, summary, working script, oralpresentation, textual analysis, review, linguistic autobiography) on topics of a cultural, linguistic or translatological (inter-) nature in the B language.
The production of texts will be limited to general or study topics or domains (relevant fields in translation and interpretation).
In accordance with the German teaching method known as Lerner- und Handlungsorientierter Unterricht (student action-oriented teaching), applied to the Teaching of German as a Foreign Language (DaF) for translation and interpretation, tasks based on the processing of authentic and current texts can be modified during the course, either according to the topicality of the texts or according to the specific didactic needs of the students, detected by means of continuous formative assessment or diagnostic assessment. The progressive definition and quantity (between 6 and 10 activities) of the specific tasks will therefore depend on the specific didactic needs of the students, without exceeding the total of the stipulated hours.
Note: Please, read carefully the special and detailed information of the subject in the Moodle Classroom.

Continuous assessment
Students must provide evidence of their progress by completing various tasks and tests. These activities are detailed in the table at the end of this section of the Study Guide.
Review
When publishing final marks prior to recording them on students' transcripts, the lecturer will provide written notification of a date and time for reviewing assessment activities. Students must arrange reviews in agreement with the lecturer.
Missed/failed assessment activities
Students may retake assessment activities they have failed or compensate for any they have missed, provided that those they have actually performed account for a minimum of 66.6% (two thirds) of the subject's final mark and that they have a weighted average mark of at least 3.5.
The lecturer will inform students of the procedure involved, in writing, when publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts. The lecturer may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities. Under no circumstances may an assessment activity worth 100% of the final mark be retaken or compensated for. In case of retaking, maximum grade will be 5).
Classification as "not assessable"
In the event of the assessment activities a student has performed accounting for just 25% or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.
Misconduct in assessment activities
Students who engage in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.) in an assessment activity will receive a mark of “0” for the activity in question. In the case of misconduct in more than one assessment activity, the student involved will be given a final mark of “0” for the subject. Assessment activities in which irregularities have occurred (e.g. plagiarism, copying, impersonation) are excluded from recovery.
Single assessment
This subject may be assessed under the single assessment system in accordance with the terms established in the academic regulations of the UAB and the assessment criteria of the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting.
Students must make an online request within the period established by the faculty and send a copy to the lecturer responsible for the subject, for the record.
Single assessment will be carried out in person on one day during week 16 or 17 of the semester. The Academic Management Office will publish the exact date and time on the faculty website.
On the day of the single assessment, teaching staff will ask the student for identification, which should be presented as a valid identification document with a recent photograph (student card, DNI/NIE or passport).
Single assessment activities
Single assessment will include a minimum of three assessment activities of different types, as stated in the assessment guidelines.
Grade revision and retake procedures for the subject are the same as those for continual assessment. See the section above in this Study Guide.
