Translation Study Abroad program and how you can join us this summer in the
European Union. Please RSVP to Elizabeth Mosley (emosley@illinois.edu) by Friday,

The purpose of this two week intensive study abroad
course is to expose students to the dynamics of the geo-political environment
of the European Union and provide hands-on experience with the translator's
role and responsibility as mediator and communicator in today's European
multi-lingual and multi-cultural societies. It is open to undergraduate and
graduate students in any major who are interested in pursuing the Certificate
in Translation Studies. This course will be of particular interest to students
in foreign languages, cultures, and linguistics, political science,
international studies, European Union Studies, law and business. The program
consists of behind-the-scenes visits to international agencies and cultural
sites relevant to language and culture studies. Countries visited include
Belgium and France. This experience can lead to internships in the EU.
