High school students will get to know more about poetry and the richness of language in a unique way, through both the foreign language they are translating from,and the language they are translating into.
Poetry students, too, get a better grip on language, and will be challenged to find suitable solutions for tricky translating puzzles. Through research into the background and work of the poet, they will also discover more about the current poetry from that poet’s country or region.
Through a thorough introduction to the language and symbolic nature of the festival poets’ work, students following a writers’ course will learn a lot about the process and ideas that can be used while writing. This will help them in writing their own work.
Beginning poetry translators can use In Other Words to help develop and deepen their own translation skills. Go to {segment name="festival/index" title="festival poets and poems"}
