School Outreach Program

Presentation Resource Materials

The goal of this area of the School Outreach Program is to give you quick, convenient access to material you can use in making presentations about the translation and interpreting professions to students at any level.

The material you'll find here was compiled from the contributions of many ATA members. Our warmest thanks to everyone listed below for their generosity and creativity. Many others submitted ideas and material that could not be included in this edition of the School Outreach area, but will appear in later editions.

And there's one small disclaimer: 

To the best of our knowledge, all of the information contained on this site was accurate and current as of October 2003. While every effort will be made to keep the information on this site up to date, the American Translators Association is not responsible for errors in contributed material.
