The aim of the course is to train students to carry out translation in various fields of

education. The course also aims at familiarizing the students with as many areas of

education as possible and ultimately helps them acquire a large amount of area-related

terminology. The teaching consists of translating texts dealing with fields of education

from English into Arabic and vice-versa. The topics covered include primary,

intermediate and secondary levels of education, higher education under graduate and post

graduate studies, specialized colleges, conditions of university admission, higher

education and scholarships abroad, higher education in the Arab World, adult education

and literacy programs, female education, public schools and state schools, and vocational

training.

Texts are taken from various sources; books, journals, encyclopedia, the press and the

internet. The texts are selected following certain criteria such as their field, their stylistic

characteristics, and the terminology.
