The TKU Department of English has invited Carol Wei, the only Taiwanese national to serve as an interpreter at the BBC, to hold an eight-part series of lectures on the topic “English Interpreting”. Ms. Wei noted that “interpreting serves as a bridge between cultures, is integral in communication, and essential in the workplace. Interpreting courses not only vastly enhance students’ language-based ability, but also help to make one’s thought process more agile and give students confidence”.

The first lecture will be held at the Tamsui Campus on April 11.
