Hi everybody. I would like to attend a course in Great Britain or Ireland to improve my English for my job.
I have been mainly a teacher, but I started working as a translator and interpreters 3 years ago and I like this job very much!!
I would like to make it my main job because teaching is becoming quite boring to me...but that is another question...
Has anybody attended special courses?
thank u in advance. Elena

Hi Elena,
I attended the University of East Anglia's English and translation summer school in 2003. I quite liked the course, they offered advanced English, creative writing, British culture, translation theory and practical translation courses. The English teachers were just great and you are assigned a tutor for practical translation. They also organised cultural visits to London, Cambridge, Sandringham as well as museum visits, cinema evenings, etc.

The City University in London also offers short courses in the summer. They have English to Italian media translation for example.

Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh has an intensive advanced English course with translation and interpreting courses.

London Metropolitain University has some interpreting courses.

There is also the translation research summer school, held in Manchester this year, in case you are interested in doing research.

Best regards,
Christine

Hello, I'm starting this topic again. Anyway, I'm from Croatia, I teach English at school and I am also a translator (English-Croatian and vice versa). I'm looking for a summer course somewhere in Britain, just to improve my language skills.
Can you recommend some courses that you attended and that were useful to you?
Thank you!

Dear colleagues,
I am still looking for an adequate refreshing course GERENG, conference interpreting in UK or US. Cambridge has been strongly recommended... maybe someone has other options.
Thank you
