Description
Description
Language teaching is a sector in constant demand. Whether in general, technical, further or private education, in a language school or in a place of work, language teachers meet the needs of a society with many multicultural relationships and are willing to face the challenge of internationalisation. Translators, with their accumulated skills in culture and society, are privileged actors who can transmit their knowledge and skills essential for optimal communication between users of different languages.
The Decree of 11th April 2014, and its implementing orders, grants holders of a Master’s in Translation (teaching focus) the qualification required to teach two foreign languages. It also grants them the qualification required to teach French as a foreign language (FLE).

Target audience
Holders of a Bachelor’s in Translation and Interpretation.
Program and structure
The programmes are divided into three “course groups”, the core curriculum of the Master’s degree in Translation (unchanged), the specific specialist courses (30 ECTS over the two blocks) and the elective courses (14 and 12 ECTS for the blocks 1 and 2). The course is open to students who have obtained the Bachelor’s degree. It is also open to those who hold a Master’s degree in Translation or Interpretation, and represents a specific reduced programme of 30 ECTS which can be achieved in one year.
The professional integration activities (translation placement) are maintained in the core curriculum, while the teaching placement is integrated into the activities specific to the teaching focus. Those who chose the teaching focus will therefore carry out two placements in block 2.
Following the Master’s in Translation, students of the FTI-EII will graduate as both translators and language teachers in upper secondary education or further education. They will have the qualification required to teach both languages of their basic language combination (e.g. English and Dutch, English and Spanish, etc.). They also have access to higher education (Hautes Écoles) under the same conditions as those who hold the “agrégation” teaching qualification.
