TIU is a five-day course offered by Wycliffe Bible Translators which includes introductory classes on phonetics, phonology, grammar, language and cultural learning, and translation and semantics. Field reports, video and personal testimonies offer students a chance to experience translation as it happens in the field. Ethnic dinners enhance the experience.
My work schedule did not permit me to be a full participant in this past week's Orlando TIU, but I am grateful I could sit in on some of each day's programming and I got more of the big picture.
