TRST 400

Credit: 3 OR 4 hours.

Focuses on language policy and the role of the translator as mediator and communicator in Europe's multilingual and multicultural societies. Discusses why the EU project depends on the concept of "living together" across languages and cultures and how translation is done in EU institutions and other international organizations. Seeks to answer the question of how multilingual individuals are trained and how they apply their skills to ensure that the multicultural project that the European Union represents will flourish thanks to this diversity, rather than being hampered by it. Preparatory for the study abroad course in Summer I in the European Union, but can be taken whether or not a student studies abroad in the EU.
