Without simultaneously incorporating cultural awareness to language learning, students may miss out on subtle cultural intricacies embedded in the language, such as slang and idioms. This station attempts to bridge the gap between translation and cultural input. This is a space to translate movie clips from eight different languages into English and to see how other visitors have responded, as well as to view three special translation-related projects from faculty and their students.
