MIU Al-Alsun students end Fall 2021 with a busy schedule for Field Training Activities
20 Feb 2022After the end of the Fall 2021 semester, Al-Alsun senior and junior students engaged in various field training programs, from February 5th till February 17th, with our worthy partners.
A group of 50 students joined a 30-hour internship program at the Middle East News Agency (MENA). Two different courses were held. In the International Organizations Translation Program, 24 students practiced translation of documents issued by international organizations, specifically the UN while a group of 26 students joined the Journalistic Translation program. Students became more aware and up-to-date with the global news and were familiarized with the editorial style of prominent news agencies. They also had the chance to try their hands on translating different journalistic text types.
Another group of 25 students joined an online internship at iTranslate. Students were divided into two groups and they received training on legal translation. They were first introduced to the nature of legal documents and what it entails. Then, they became familiar with the terminology of this specific field of translation and they got the chance to translate multiple legal contracts.
Trainers praised MIU Al-Alsun students for their commitment and eagerness to learn new skills.
