! Bantita's
ID: Bantita, we
found your ID in the exam room on Monday and gave it
to staff at the Exam Coordinating Room (BRK 313). Hope
you picked it up.
! Test 5: Chanin and Amporntavee, your test 5 is in my box at the end of the hall past my office on the 11th floor. ! Final Exam on Mar. 3: (8:3011:30 a.m.) There will be five parts, corresponding to each of the five translation types in our five tests. Dictionaries (electronic or paper) are not allowed in the exam room. Review files from your classmates are linked to in the topics below. ! Section 7 Feb. 26 Class: For Wednesday, February 26 class, you will be giving a two-minute crash-review for your classmates on a translation topic (listed below). Make use of the concordance function in the software program AntConc, downloadable from Laurence Anthony's Website, in making helpful observations/reminders about language use on your chosen topic. Note that files must be saved as .txt in order to be used in the program's concordance display. Those choosing the informative and expressive texts option need to use your evaluative skills to choose a good text source. If you want authoritative information about bamboo, where would you go? If you want interesting fictional pieces from good writers, how do you find it?

! Long Distance Learning for Section 7 Dec. 9 Class: Thanks for your news exercises 14 translation. Though Chula has announced normal operations for Monday, December 9, 2013, I anticipate that many of you may have difficulty getting to and back from campus since people will be marching the streets throughout the day. I will ask that for our section, you work from home instead of trying to come to our classroom on Monday. Please finish translating all the T-E news exercises (to #6) and e-mail them to me.

Section 7 Nov. 13 Class Canceled: There will be no class on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 for students in Introduction to Translation section 7. E-mail me your English-Thai news exercise #4 (drug smuggling) translation and then you are free to think about your role in this moment of Thai history and to contribute. Our learning is outside the classroom on Wednesday. Notice as well English v.

Have fun designing your learning experience for one hour and studying from real world events outside the classroom! I'll be posting discussion for news exercise #3 and #4 later today and uploading the detailed schedule soon after. If you have questions, don't hesitate to write. !
