The main focus is on working with factual text types. Such text allows trainee translators to transfer information from one language to another with minimal loss or gain at the same time as they are able to improve their control of the languages involved. This foundation is then shown to be the spring-board for dealing with much more complex, creative text typical of the novel and short story, poetry and drama. By its very nature such text demands a much greater personal response on part of the translator.
