Teaching language

Portuguese

Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

Portuguese Sign Language.

Continuing the work begun in ITI, new objectives of learning will be introduced, namely:
to develop the field of LGP and LP and translation techniques necessary for a good translation and
interpretation;
to know the diversity of contexts of intervention of ILGP;
to be aware of cultural constraints of the translation and interpretation to and from LGP;
to understand the role of ILGP in the deaf community.

Syllabus

Translation strategies of linguistic and cultural nature; development and practice of memory; physical and environmental factors affecting translation and interpretation; translation contexts and interpretation; brief history of ILGP and associations; Introduction to voice translation; practical exercises of translating and interpreting from and to LGP.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The knowledge of the various linguistic, cultural and historical conditions is an important factor to take
into account the formation of future interpreters of LGP, allowing them a good adaptation to different
contexts of professional intervention they will find in their future professional environment. The introduction of new working tools simultaneous with the practical work of translation and interpretation contributes to the development of knowledge.

Teaching methodologies

Theoretical approach: themes; distribution of documentation; theme-oriented research; presentation of
topics related to the post content research students; discussion and debate.
Practical approach: practical exercises of interpretation and translation; translation exercises in LGP;
analysis of audio and video recordings, video and audio recording glosses.
Exercises dealing with sign to voice interpretation by viewing videos and learning how to read LGP.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The articulation between the theoretical approach and practical approach aims to encourage the active and engaged participation of the students, which is essential for the progress of the subject and for achieving success in the ratings. As well as class participation, oriented research, completion of the tasks set by the teacher, this articulation promotes participation in extracurricular activities which will enhance the knowledge gained in the classroom (seminars, meetings, conferences and events related to the deaf
community).
The students will develop a thorough theoretical and practical grounding, as well as the ability to identify
and adopt appropriate strategies for different contexts and the ability to do short pieces of interpretation.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

Theoretical evaluation (theoretical work/test) – 30%
Practical evaluation (1/2 practical work of translation for LGP - audiovisual recording and gloss) – 60%
Participation; Attendance – 5%
Autonomous work; Homework – 5%
...................
The assessment by examination includes two tests:
1- theoretical test in writing, with a duration of 1 hour + 30 minutes of tolerance (30% of the grade);
2- practical assessment consisting of a video recording of a translation from LP to LGP, duration 5 minutes, followed by the elaboration of a written gloss analysis and correction of the recorded video, with a duration of 1 hour (70% of the grade).
