The UL and UCF students, who study technical communication, collaborate to write procedural documents. The UPD students translate the documents into French. A key feature of the project design is the need for collaboration among the document writers and translators throughout the process. This paper provides a theoretical background to the project and describes the assignment that student teams collaborate on. It then offers guidelines for faculty wishing to organize similar projects. %G English %L hal-01230064 %U https://u-paris.hal.science/hal-01230064 %~ SHS %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ AO-LINGUISTIQUE %~ CLILLAC-ARP %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UP-SOCIETES-HUMANITES
