ESLT Summer School 2019

Tijdens de ESLT doorlopen ca. twintig vertalers en opleiders uit Europa een driedaags programma met lezingen, workshops en forumdiscussies met betrekking tot het literair vertaalonderwijs. Daarbij wordt onder meer aandacht besteed aan didactiek rond het vertalen van poëzie en non-fictie.

Voor vertalers in of uit het Nederlands die worden toegelaten, stelt het ELV een tegemoetkoming beschikbaar van € 150. Deze bijdrage wordt verrekend met het inschrijfgeld, dat daardoor niet € 250 wordt maar € 100. Voor meer informatie zie de aankondiging hieronder (in het Engels).
