Language Collaboratory – Translate-a-thon: (Co-)curricular community translation and student engagement

The University of Michigan’s Language Resource Center organizes an annual translation marathon; inviting students, faculty, staff and local community members to come together for two days and translate community based projects. While our event is co-curricular, over the years we have had increasing interest in incorporating these projects into language classes. This event is sponsored by the Language Collaboratory.

Discussants: Julie Evershed, Director, and Philomena Meechan, Instructional Learning Lead, Language Resource Center, University of Michigan
