Interpreting involves rearranging a message from one language into another. Recreational linguistics encompasses the same skills. This class will cover, among other things, lipograms, anagrams, rebuses, pangrams, puns, tongue twisters and crossword puzzles. Participants will be divided into small groups and given tasks to complete. The wrap-up will include a review of resources (commercial words games, Internet sites, etc.,) to improve interpreter-related word skills.

· 3 Instructor-led Credits (L8040).

· All Languages
