Online News Resource Project Guidelines

In collaboration with classmates researching the same topics, students create online resources for news English-Thai and Thai-English translation. Presentation of your resource can be in html, Word, etc., basically a file type or form that can be easily converted into html and posted or be made available online. Your list, observations, and discussion about the terms and language difference between English and Thai should be a reference that the world public can use. Each topic group will have four minutes to present your work to the class on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 and send the link or file to me to be uploaded to our translation resources site.
