An update...

ATA 英＞日認定試験ワークショップのお知らせ
（English into Japanese Workshop only）

2017年10月にワシントンDCで開催されるATA会議で、英日認定試験に備えるための非公式ワークショップを開催します。例年このワークショップは英日・日英合同でATA会議の日程に組み込まれていたものですが、今年はセッションの申し込みが多く、枠から外されてしまったため、私たち英日グレーダーが非公式に提供するものです。（ただしセッションのキャンセルがあった場合は復活し、英日・日英合同で開催される可能性は残っています。）認定試験に十分備えていただいて、1人でも多くの方に合格していただきたいというのが私たちの願いです。

10月28日土曜日の午後12時30分～1時30分まで、ランチの時間を利用してホテル内またはその近くで開催を予定しています。ご興味のある方はEventbrite [ https://ata58-jld-ej-cert-workshop.eventbrite.com ] による登録を受け付けていますので10月24日火曜日迄にそちらから登録してください。

参加されたい方は、以下のパッセージ（258ワード）を事前に訳して[updated 2017.10.15] miyako [at] maojapanese [dot] comまで送信していただくか、間に合わない方は当日お持ちください。このワークショップは翻訳教室ではなく、皆さんが訳された答案を発表しあい、現役グレーダーが実際に使うツール（フローチャートとエラーカテゴリーのフレームワーク）を使ってコメントするものです。プロの翻訳者の方であっても、どのように答案が採点されるのかを知ることは試験対策として大変有益です。認定試験にご興味のある方はぜひご参加ください。

なお、ランチ時間となりますので、ランチをご持参ください。
