English-Vietnamese and Vietnamese-English TranslationSkills is aimed at developing advanced Vietnamese students’ awareness of the lexico-grammatical resources of Vietnamese language for translating documents of different types and providing students with opportunities to improve their own competence in using language for different purposes. The course will be conducted by bilingual teachers from Vietnam, who possess teaching qualifications, rich language-teaching and translating experience, noble teachers’ qualities, and most importantly, speak standard Vietnamese.

In this course, more advanced lexico-grammatical structures, larger vocabulary volume, and necessary translation techniques will be provided to students so that students will feel confident in translating documents of different types such as articles from newspapers, magazines, economic contracts, journal articles, brochures, and so on. By the end of the course, students should have knowledge and understanding of key concepts in translating texts from and into Vietnamese, discriminate between different types of words, be able to recognize, comprehend and translate idioms and fixed expressions, and improve skills in using written Vietnamese for different purposes.
