English language internship – translation project

Abstract

The Department of Foreign Languages in the University of Córdoba proposes a macro project called “Servicios de Traducción e Interpretación” led by professors of the English Teaching program and current internship tutors: B.S. Jaime Nieto and M.S. Paula García. This macro project has two micro projects, one focuses on interpretation services to expert visitors whereas the other is aimed at translations and revisions of academic papers. The University of Córdoba offers this project as a selectable option for students to graduate, but the internship process was modified due to the global pandemic of the current year. This report describes the strategies, theories, and overall experience from three interns as they accomplished the tasks, functions, and responsibilities they were given under the micro project focused on the translation and revision process of academic papers.
