Master 2 professionnel rédaction-traduction
I hope you are all having a good set of end-of-year festivities.
I know you must be busy with the assignment I gave you, and that has to be the priority, so I will understand if you have only a little time to prepare our next class, next Thursday.
We will be looking to translate the one piece in the booklet which we haven't yet dealt with - this is the press release on page 18 and 19 about the Talkman system.
I will also be asking you for suggestions on the course, which as you know has been given for the first time this year.
See you soon
JM

For reading, around the subject of Political power and its representation, the problem is not to become an encyclopedia, but I would say the absolute minimum reading (for the British side) would be a general history, a history of the Labour party and a history of the Concervative party.
In addition, read three or four articles every day from the websites of the British press. Choose the articles which seem to be connected to political power and its representation.

M2 Master professionnel Approfondissement de l'anglais
Université Paris-Est Créteil UFR Lettres et Sciences Humaines
Département d’Anglais Master professionnel rédaction/traduction
Assessed paper There are two parts to this assessed assignment.
Section A : A museum brochure
Firstly you will be writing a brochure for a museum, aimed at international visitors. You should look at the website of the museum or art gallery to get hold of the information you need, before writing the text of the brochure. This is not a translation exercise - you should not translate what is on the website, but re-write it using the style and structure that you think is best for the museum. Don’t forget to include both practical information (like the cost of a ticket, and the presence of different facilities) and information about highlights of the museum.
You can choose between
Le musée des beaux Arts de Rouen http://www.rouen-musees.com/index.php?idR=12
and
Le musée d’Aquitaine à Bordeaux
http://musees-aquitaine.com/musees/fiche_musee.php?id=19
You should look at museum sites in English so as to be sure you have the correct semi-technical vocabulary, expressions etc. Here are a few examples :
http://www.phm.org.uk/
http://www.yorkartgallery.org.uk/Page/about.aspx
http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/
http://www.museum.maidstone.gov.uk
Here is an example of a museum brochure from the US
http://www.wsmr-history.org/MuseumBrochure.pdf
Like this example, your document must be almost completely made up of full sentences, and not of lists (as is sometimes the tendency in French).
You should imagine this is a professional task, and that you will be paid a lot of money if they like your brochure!
You need not illustrate the document nor lay it out, your job is merely to produce text.
Your text should be between 700 and 900 words long.
Section B an encyclopedia article
For section B you must write an encyclopedia article about a French personality. It can be a musician, artist, scientist, actor or politician, or about a French town. It must be a person or place which is not mentioned in Wikipedia English. Again, do not translate from Wikipedia French, think up yourself an encyclopedia article which is interesting to English readers who know very little about the place or person in question. Your article should be in an appropriate encyclopedic style and between 500 and 600 words.
Again, you need not put in illustrations, hyperlinks and so on, I simply want you to hand in text. And no lists, please.
Do *not* put your article on wikipedia. After the end of the semester, if students agree, the articles will be put on wikipedia.
The whole of the assignment is to be handed in on paper at the first class in January, that is to say Thursday 6th January. It must be typed, not handwritten. I would also like you to send me a copy by email in RTF format before January 10th.
