Q
LTI Translation Academy
Who are the teachers, and when are the classes?
A
Our faculty consists of professional translators with extensive experience of translating Korean literature and professors at leading universities in Korea and abroad. In addition, foreign writers residing in Korea are invited to teach classes to produce translations that are highly marketable in overseas markets.
In addition, lectures by literary critics as well as researchers in Korean culture and translation theory aimed at students of Regular Course enhance their understanding of Korean culture and literature.
The class schedule changes on a termly basis and the timetable is finalized one month prior to the start of the term.
How do I get into LTI Translation Academy?
The selection process consists of three stages: application review, translation test, and interview.
In the first round, we select candidates based on their applications and personal statements. Next, the one-hour written test held at our test site involves translating a short except (about one A4 page) from a Korean short story into a target language.
Lastly, the interview evaluates your understanding of Korean literature and linguistic ability. If you live overseas, it is possible to submit a translation sample in the place of the written test, and conduct a phone or Skype interview instead.
