In the just published Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups Smarter, Harvard Law professor Cass Sunstein, co-author of Nudge and the HBR article “Making Dumb Groups Smarter,” examines why groups so often fail in making decisions and identifies new mechanisms for collective problem solving and decision making In this interactive Harvard Business Review webinar, Sunstein shares insights from this new book, offers tactics and lessons to help leaders avoid the pitfalls associated with group decision making, and provides specific ways to reach better outcomes DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 Graduation Paper Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A 1.2 Aims and Objectives: 1.2.1 Aims: In the last fourth year, this graduation paper has mirrored my personal abilities During that period, teachers and friends at Duy Tan University provided me with invaluable support, assistance, and guidance Additionally, the goal of this graduation paper is to assist a translator in improving necessary abilities, avoiding typical translation errors, and gaining a better understanding of culture In addition, I intend to gain experience as a translator as a result of this research 1.2.2 Objectives: Following the completion of my graduation paper, I set the following goals for myself: • Improving my translation abilities by incorporating appropriate words and structures into any phrase • Summarizing what I've learned in the past • Translating the words in a natural and fluid manner Removing language barriers to help Vietnamese people understand the content of this book • Analyzing difficult and complex vocabulary, phrases, or structures that can easily lead to reader misunderstandings 1.3 Scope of the Study: The text that I selected to translate is “Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups Smarter” by Cass R Sunstein and Reid Hastie, 2015 The graduation paper is translated from the original version and given the analysis of a suggested translation of the book Besides, the paper will list some difficulties that students ususlly face in translation Finally, some essential solutions are suggested DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 Graduation Paper 10 Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A 1.3.1 Text Features: The book Wiser is a book to help us be smarter – “wiser” — about our group and team decision-making And this is something we need to get much better at because we move forward when people work well together Groups and teams, working well, are at the heart of every success story And group failure seems to be behind plenty of the “failure stories” around us 1.3.2 Text Length: In the graduation thesis, I chose to translate Chapter of the book " Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups Smarter" The translation is approximately 3900 words long 1.3.3 Text Organization: The text is divided into a lot of small titles and it is organized as follows: Title one: Garbage In? A Brief Guided Tour Title two: Garbage out Title three: Why More Garbage? 1.3.4 Text Sources: This text comes from the book “Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups Smarter” written by Cass R Sunstein and Reid Hastie, 2015” I got this book in the library from the Phan Thanh branch of Duy Tan university DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 Graduation Paper • 62 Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A Asking supervisor and other teachers If there is something we don't understand, we shall seek guidance and solutions from our supervisor or other teachers To summarize, I am aware that my translation contains several holes that I am unable to fill But, through translating and analyzing more materials, I aim to work hard to enhance my knowledge translation skills DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 Graduation Paper 63 Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A CHAPTER CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS  6.1 Conclusions: For me, the graduation thesis helped me understand the challenges of translators, consolidate what I had learned, and gain valuable experience Despite using dictionaries and other resources, I struggled to translate polysemous words and analyze sentence structures Because my understanding of society is limited, the translation is choppy A translator must be well-versed in a variety of fields in order to translate well As a result, to properly complete the thesis, we must study numerous documents and references related to the field we are translating to convey all of the author's ideas to the reader Furthermore, because my understanding of grammatical structure is shaky, I am frequently perplexed and spend a significant amount of time attempting to understand and analyze sentence structure I've learned a lot of valuable lessons and become more aware of my translation flaws while writing this graduation thesis I am aware of my translation weaknesses and am working hard to improve my existing knowledge while also learning new things As a result, I need to learn more to improve my knowledge and skills by constantly improving and learning new information, as well as learning from other translators 6.2 Suggestions: I have some proposals for the Faculty of English in particular, and for Duy Tan University in general, as a final-year student, and I hope that my suggestions are followed DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 Graduation Paper 64 Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A First and foremost, since my major is English translation and Interpretation, I would like to learn with international professors rather than Vietnamese teachers in practical areas such as listening, speaking, and so forth Secondly, I think some major subjects such as Advances Grammar, Translation theory, Translation and 2, Syntax should be given greater attention because they are extremely useful to students when writing their graduation papers Finally, to promote student-teacher engagement during each lesson, mini games, English songs or quizzes, and group competitions may all be engaging methods to learn English I hope that both students and instructors will find the recommendations above helpful Once again, I'd want to express my gratitude to all of the professors that assisted and supported me throughout my time at Duy Tan University DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 Graduation Paper Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A REFERENCES  I BOOKS [1] Catford, J.C (1965), A Linguistic Theory of Translation, Oxfor Retrieved from the database of the electronic library [2] Peter Newmark (n.d), A textbook of translation Retrieved from the database of the electronic library [3] Eugene Nida and Charles R Taber (in Choliludin,2006) [4] Lan Tudor (n.d), Learner-centredness as Language Education Cambridge Language Teaching Library [5] Isadore Pinhhuck (in Suryawinata and Hariyanto, 2003) II WEBSITES [4] English Grammar Retrieved from https://www.englishgrammar.org/ [5] Cambridge dictionary https://dictionary.cambridge.org/ [6].Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (n.d) retrieved from https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 Graduation Paper Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A SUPERVISOR’S COMMENT  REVIEWER COUNCIL’S COMMENT  DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 Graduation Paper Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A DOAN THI THU UYEN_K24NAB1 CODE 24203116371 ... ? ?Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups Smarter? ?? written by Cass R Sunstein and Reid Hastie, 20 15” I got this book in the library from the Phan Thanh branch of Duy Tan university DOAN...DUY TAN UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ENGLISH GRADUATION PAPER AN ANALYSIS OF THE SUGGESTED TRANSLATION OF CHAPTER FROM THE BOOK "WISER: GETTING BEYOND GROUPTHINK TO MAKE GROUPS SMARTER" BY CASS R SUNSTEIN. .. about the Vietnamese translation of a book named ? ?Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink To Make Groups Smarter" written by Cass R Sunstein And Reid Hastie and was initially published in 20 15 Because of
