Online booking will open on the website in February 2012.Extracts from the feedback on last year's Summer School:`Thank you so much for a brilliant course. It was wonderful to meet so many inspiring people, both staff & students alike. I felt really privileged to be working with "la crème de la crème" of the translation world.'`It gave me confidence & showed me that translation as a career is a feasible option. It also illustrated the wide variety of options open to people with language skills.'`I enjoyed everything! It was amazing being able to experience two tutors of translation with their differing styles; being able to prioritise the techniques in two different languages, plus attending all the fascinating talks. The "fun" bits were great too, ie the translation slam & game.'NB The Summer School is running shortly before the Olympics. Russell Square & environs is a designated area for the press and media (see http://www.london2012.com/making-it-happen/planning-consultations/documents/london-2012-bloomsbury-boards.pdf ). You are therefore strongly urged both to book on the course and to arrange your accommodation as early as possible.

The rooms are fairly basic, ie bed, desk etc with no en-suite and you would share the bathroom & a basic pantry, but they include breakfast, and you can also get dinner in hall by booking on the day for £6 (see http://www.halls.london.ac.uk/visitor/garden/Default.aspx).

Basic activities at the EMUNI Summer School: a) Critical discussion of the most current approaches to translation theory, paying particular attention to contemporary research into literary and non-literary works from a historical perspective. b) Presentation and critical discussion of different methodological approaches in TS, focusing in particular on researching the translation of literary and non-literary texts in historical TS from the perspective of historical and sociological studies, or through the use of ethnological and corpus approaches. c) A series of lectures by the guest lecturer. d) Teacher-training in the field of translator training, with a particular emphasis on curriculum and syllabus design, definition of objectives and learning outcomes, trainee and trainer profiles, ICT resources, classroom dynamics and assessment. e) Tutorials for doctoral students and young researchers. f) A graduate conference.
