They thoroughly question the viewpoints of experts expressed in different sources. They identify or/and analyze their own and others' assumptions and carefully evaluate the relevance of contexts when presenting a position.

PLO 10: Language and Cultural Translation
The students are introduced to the basic translation theoretical framework and ideas. They study the Greek and Latin grammar and syntactical system, the equivalences between Greek/Latin and English, and the cultural context and influences within the translation process.
