课程特征 Course Features
 
This programme is dedicated to media access for people with sensory disabilities. It focuses on monolingual subtitling (captioning) for the deaf and hard-of-hearing and audio description, a form of narrative translation for blind and partially sighted people.
This is the only UK MAsters programme dedicated to monoligual subtitling and audio description. You will learn from professionals and academics in a supportive environment. We will prepare you for a growing professional market and new research opportunity which are emerging in audiovisual disciplines.

Professional subtitlers and audio describers who are active in the market bring their real-world experience and standards into the classroom as tutors.

Experienced academic staff with excellent research records in various areas of translation studies help you to develop a broad understanding of the current and future challenges of audiovisual translation. Modules are practice-based and embedded in the context of a sound linguistic, cultural and semiotic framework. Regular seminars in our Professional Aspects of Translation series - held throughout the year - provide additional insights from a range of experienced professionals.

The programme offers 24/7 access to computer labs and the latest professional audio description and subtitling software.

 
课程内容 Course Content :

Module Overview
Intralingual Audiovisual Translation (Subtitling for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing: SDH)
In this module you will learn how to produce intralingual subtitles in order to meet the needs of SDH viewers. The focus will be on acquiring skills for analysing the various components of audiovisual materials (speech, sound, text), developing strategies for transferring audio information to written form and learning to create subtitle files, using professional subtitling software.

Audio Description (AD)
In audio description, additional narrative is inserted in films, TV programmes or theatre performances to describe actions, body language and other essential details in order to increase the comprehension and enjoyment of audiovisual contents for blind and partially sighted people. In this module you will learn how to produce effective audio descriptions, using professional AD software.

Audiovisual Translation Issues
In this module you will learn about the various forms of audiovisual translation such as subtitling, dubbing, voice-over and audio description, their development, their major challenges, as well as their overall relationship to translation.

Applied Linguistic Principles
Drawing on pragmatic models of communication, this module will help students to develop an understanding of how verbal language and other modes of communication are used for the creation and comprehension of meaning.

Dissertation
You will have the opportunity to specialise in an aspect of the programme by writing a topic-based dissertation, or doing a subtitling/audio description project with commentary. Successful completion of the module requires close collaboration with a supervisor and good planning and organisation skills.

Optional Modules
In addition to the compulsory modules, you will be able to select optional modules according to your specific interests. You can complement your skills in paper translation or audiovisual translation or you may learn a new language for translation purposes. Alternatively, you can take an option on creative writing or explore issues of creativity is other areas such as advertising.

Why study in the Centre for Translation Studies?
You will be taught by both academic staff and experienced practising professionals in a supportive and welcoming atmosphere.
Our academic staff enjoy international reputations in their particular field and bring the insights of their research work into the classroom. You will be challenged to think and develop your own ideas.

Our extensive team of tutors – professionals who work as translators, interpreters, subtitlers and audio describers – bring their knowledge of the marketplace, its conditions and expectations to practice-based classes in which interaction and feedback are the keys to progress.

Our students of translation, interlingual subtitling and interpreting take part in practice-based classes in language-specific groups for which assignments are set throughout each semester. You will get individual feedback on a regular basis from an expert tutor in your chosen language pair throughout the academic year.

Postgraduate students are fully integrated in the life of the Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) and benefit from being part of a larger community in the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences. Research students enjoy the use of a dedicated postgraduate research room.

Research in the Centre for Translation Studies
CTS enjoys an international reputation for its scholarship and research across a range of areas in translation and interpreting studies.
Founded in 1982, the Centre offers a full portfolio of programmes from undergraduate through Masters to doctoral level. The Centre is staffed by scholars who are actively involved in the national and international research scene. Colleagues regularly participate in international conferences, give invited lectures, publish in peer-reviewed journals, produce edited volumes on topical themes with leading publishers, and write monographs.

Research Projects
AVIDICUS–Assessing Videoconference Interpreting in the Criminal Justice System
Videoconference technology is now widely used in criminal proceedings to speed up cross-border communication, reduce costs and increase security. The emerging settings – for example, video links between courtrooms and witnesses abroad, between police stations and prisons – also involve bilingual communication and therefore require interpreters to be integrated into the videoconference setting. The project (led by CTS) aims to investigate the viability and reliability of videoconference and remote interpreting in criminal proceedings.

BACKBONE–Corpora for content-and-language-integrated learning
The Backbone project (led by the University of Tübingen) aims to compile a multilingual corpus of authentic spoken discourse in a range of cultural and professional contexts to be used for the development of language proficiency in interpreter/translator training. CTS is primarily concerned with research into the pedagogical foundations of corpus compilation/exploitation and will create a corpus of British regional and sociocultural varieties and enrichment materials for business and community interpreting contexts. The project corpora will be piloted with CTS interpreting students.

Seminars and Events
CTS regularly organises a varied programme of international events.

A two-day seminar on ‘Audio Description for Visually Impaired People: Towards an Interdisciplinary Research Agenda’, sponsored by the Institute of Advanced Studies, was initiated and hosted by CTS. It provided an interdisciplinary framework for dialogue and future research, and brought together thirty participants from eight countries.

 ‘Translation and Opposition’ was an international one-day event organised by CTS, under the auspices of the publisher Multilingual Matters Ltd. The aim of the event was to bring together specialists from various institutions in the UK and other European countries to discuss and debate the conflictive aspects of translation.

The 21st anniversary of Surrey’s MA in Translation was marked with an event entitled ‘The Translator as Professional and Scholar: Challenges and New Horizons’. Guests included a senior representative of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting, and over 70 students from both undergraduate and postgraduate CTS programmes.

The Royal Embassy of Norway in London sponsored a two-day International Translation Symposium hosted by CTS staff.
‘In So Many Words: Language Transfer On The Screen’, an international conference on audiovisual translation, was co-hosted by CTS and the Hispanic Research Centre at the University of Roehampton.
Linking Academic Disciplines
The European and International Studies Research Centre (EISRC) was created in 2007 to link the different research groups focusing on these subjects at the University of Surrey.

The aims of the EISRC are:

To promote collaboration and mutual support through research mentoring and monitoring, internal peer review of grant applications and book proposals/draft articles
To organise conferences and to stimulate multidisciplinary grant bids and other forms of cooperation
Members of the EISRC attract funding from a wide range of sources including the AHRC, the ESRC, the British Academy and the EU, and many are regarded as experts in their field.

The management committee comprises: Susan Breau (Law), Chris Flood (Politics), Colin Grant (Sociology) and Margaret Rogers (Centre for Translation Studies) – with accountability to the Associate Deans for Research in the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences and the School of Law.

Translation Studies 1+3 Taught Masters Leading to PhD
This route enables a single combined application for study on a taught Masters programme with further study for a research degree. The initial application should include details of the proposed taught Masters programme and the broad area of the proposed future research. Offers for the 1+3 programme will include progression criteria that will be applied at the end of the taught element, usually in the form of an overall percentage and a minimum performance in the dissertation. This pathway is primarily intended for the MA in Translation Studies but can be considered for other programmes.

English Language Support
Mastery of English is vital for success in our translation and interpreting programmes. The Department’s intensive academic English courses are available for students who begin their degree programmes in the autumn.
These pre-sessional classes are available in four- to ten-week sessions between July and September as well as from October to June. The University sometimes asks for completion of our ten-week pre-sessional programme as a condition of entry.
Support is also available to you throughout the academic year in study skills and academic writing. You will receive individual attention from our experienced and friendly staff to help you get the most from your degree programme.
