Our on-line interpreter book discussions are a way for professional interpreters to discuss relevant texts with colleagues across the country (and abroad), moderated and overseen by RID Sponsor: Ginevra Deianni. Book clubs last 4 weeks (1 month), with a weekly reflection question to answer on-line. Participants write a brief, informal, weekly reflection, and respond to each other's posts to create meaningful dialogue on the cultural topics in each book. There is no specific time to log on for this program - participants follow weekly deadlines for posting responses at their own pace to keep the group on track together. Flexibility & extensions are offered as needed.
Important Note: Book is not included. Much like a college course, participants must purchase their own text (due to copyright laws). Many books have an e-book option, and some are even available for free rental at your local library.
CEUs are awarded and posted to RID members transcript upon successful completion. Certificates awarded for non-RID participants too. All RID CEUs are overseen & administered by Ginevra Deianni, RID Sponsor. To register for an upcoming bookclub, see below:
