Translation of Displays in the Heritage and Future of Rikkyo Gallery
May 2018
The Heritage and Future of Rikkyo Gallery
Special Exhibition: "Japanese Americans in Concentration Camps and Second-Generation Japanese Americans in the United States"
RiCoLaS students were in charge of the Japanese translation of some of the displays for the Heritage and Future of Rikkyo special exhibition. We started by studying the background history and delivered the translation successfully. Normally the names of translators are not put on display, but the client kindly displayed the names of the students who worked on this project along with the completed translations.
Workshop on Nogaku (Traditional Japanese Theater) for International Students: An Interpretation Project
June 2018
Location: Ikebukuro Campus
Following on from last year, we performed consecutive interpreting for the nogaku workshop for international students. We received documents from the client in advance, created a glossary and watched the videos from the previous year to prepare for the interpreting assignment.
Interpreting of Lectures and Field Trips for Short-Term International Students
July 2018
Location: Ikebukuro Campus, Mukojima etc.
We organized an interpreting project for short-term international students.
First, consecutive interpreting was provided for lectures delivered on campus about society and culture, followed by liaison interpreting during field trips for the students to see what they had learned about in the lecture.
The topic was Japanese literature and included challenging content such as Japanese poetry, both waka and haiku, and although the students were beginners in Japanese, they enjoyed the program.
