The TKU Department of Spanish has recently launched a new series of activities in line with its 50th anniversary. The centerpiece of the event is an exhibition showing literature and film-based translations from Spanish speaking countries. There will also be a forum.

The exhibition will be held on the 2nd floor of the Tamkang Memorial Library (March 26 – 29), and will be accompanied by five special lectures on topics related to Spanish translation.

The organizer of the event, which is collectively known as “Spanish Translation Week”, assistant professor Tai Yu-fen (Department of Spanish), stated that “the significance of the week-long event is in allowing students to become familiar with translations of Spanish literature, and giving students a first-hand insight into the translation process by inviting expert translators to come and share their experiences”.
