English Translation and Interpretation (ETI)

This course is one of NCA's more advanced programs and is ideal for students who are interested in business, entertainment, international politics, tourism and social issues. The workload is fairly heavy, the material complex and the curriculum is designed to give you a vast amount of information in as short a time as possible. Students will learn the fundamentals of language conversion, and will have many opportunities to practice their English skills through listening to and translating news, weekly vocabulary tests and English composition.
