The LRC will hold its
Fourth International Localisation Summer School and the first Pre-Summer
School International Workshop for 3rd Level Localisation Educators this
June. The courses will be
delivered by localisation professionals in the state-of-the-art
facilities of the Department of Computer Science at the University of
Limerick, home of the LRC.
Over
the past years, the University of Limerick (Ireland) and Austin
Community College in Texas (USA) have been two of the first academic
institutions world-wide to offer an academic programme of study in
localisation, backed and supported by industry leaders on both sides of
the Atlantic.
This
is the second time that these two third-level colleges, which are located
in two continents invite you to join their International Localisation
Summer School where leading instructors from the USA and Europe will
deliver the courses.

Pre-Summer
School Workshop for 3rd Level Educators
The International Workshop for 3rd Level
Localisation Educators will take place on the 31st of May and
will allow individuals, currently teaching localisation –related topics
at third level educational institutions, to meet and discuss localisation
as part of third level education. Attendees
will be invited to give brief presentations on their teaching experiences,
and give their opinions on what they see as the most important issues
involved with the teaching of localisation in third level environments.
This workshop will also provide an
opportunity for localisation companies that have developed specialist
teaching and training materials to showcase their materials and methods to
an audience of localisation educators and gain valuable feedback on the
strengths and weaknesses of their training methods.
