English-Greek & Greek-English
Aims of
the course
This course aims to develop the skills of
translating a wide range of text-types from English into Greek. It is intended
for native speakers of Greek or English with a very high level of in the
target language as well as in the source language (post-Proficiency) who wish
to become professional translators. Those who successfully complete all parts
of the assessment will be awarded the Institute of Linguists Diploma in
Translation, the most prestigious internationally recognised award for
professional translators.
Course Structure
CELT Athens offers a part time
option run mainly by distance via e-mail. Course participants send in
assignments, receive input and feedback, and attend individual tutorials
on areas arising from their work. The course is completed in twelve months
over four terms or over two academic years. Fees are the same for both
options but the centre reserves the right to accept candidates for one or
the other option depending on their performance at entry point and their
development during the course.

Student Support
Apart from communication via
e-mail, CELT maintains a Support Website for distance translation
students whose sole aim is
to support and inform its students so that they have access to important links
leading to lexicons, articles and databases free of charge. The web address is
announced exclusively to those registering on the course and is password
protected. This is a sub-domain of the CELT Athens website set up for the sole
purpose of providing support and guidance to those attending the course by
distance. CELT Athens also offers its candidates an excellent Support system, a
highly specialised Self-Access Centre for trainees on
the course and a Lending Library facility to its
candidates. The library contains
many of the theoretical texts related to the course content. Students who can
come into the centre can use the library free of charge.
Course Content
In the first term, fundamental
issues in the theory of translation are covered and the following input
areas are explored
-
Contrastive Analysis of Greek and English
-
Stylistic Variation in Greek and English
-
Grammar & Syntax
-
Semantics & Discourse Analysis
In addition, a variety of general texts are set for translation. The second term focuses on the translation of literary, business or technology texts and the third term on texts drawn from the fields of science, social science or law depending on the fields chosen by each candidate. The last term focuses on further development of translation skills and exam technique training for the Institute of Linguists examination.
Awards & Certification
All participants receive a Certificate of
Attendance. Those who perform well in the internally assessed assignments
are entered for the Institute of Linguists Diploma in Translation
examination, which is held every January.
Successful
candidates are awarded the Diploma in Translation.
About the Centre
CELT Athens is approved by the
Institute
of Linguists in the UK to run Diploma in Translation

translators with an extremely high level of competence in both languages
concerned, while the methods employed are such as one would expect of a
leading teacher-training centre.

Education
Sunny A Angeles was born and raised in Australia, of a German father Japanese mother - with three languages at her fingertips, it was natural that she would develop an interest in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics!
Sunny A Angeles came to CELT to obtain her RSA DTEFLA Diploma in 1989 - she was one of our very first trainee teachers attending that course.
After completing her Diploma with Distinction in the Practical, she went on to further her studies by obtaining two more Masters qualifications. Meanwhile, she started working as a tutor for CELT, first on the Language Awareness for Teachers course, later on the Certificate in TEFL and, finally on the RSA DOTE/DTEFLA, and more recently, the Cambridge DELTA.
Sunny is an approved DELTA Course tutor but she also works as a tutor on the Open University as an Associate Lecturer on the MA in Applied Linguistics, and as a tutor on the IH Distance DELTA. Sunny examines for Cambridge regularly and is an IELTS assessor as well.
Today she trains teachers on the DELTA course at CELT as well as on the English for Teachers course.
