A career in language and culture
|
Greetings, explaining something, asking a question - we use language every day. In the workplace, we use language to exchange ideas or convey information. Sometimes, language is even the subject of our work. Consider cultural organizations where text, literature, and language play a prominent role. Or think of language volunteers and researchers. Language is everywhere! During the upcoming Your Perspective session, our alumni will tell you all about it. Will you be joining us? Please register via the link below.
