As part of the “International Teaching and Learning Formats” (ILLF) funding line, the IDGS has managed to obtain funding for a student exchange with the University of Washington in Seattle. Next spring, 5 students will have the opportunity to travel to Seattle to acquire knowledge of American Sign Language (ASL), learn more about interpreting in the American context, get a taste of ASL research and, of course, exchange ideas with local students and the deaf communities in Seattle. Planning the trip has already begun and students can now apply to participate. The deadline is 8. November 2024.
