Best regards
Trish

Dear Patricia,

I read about your proposed course on cross-cultural awareness training. This is a very interesting topic and important for the translation business. I always focus on this topic when I teach English to people going abroad, as differences between countries can be very significant.

If you or AUSIT could post a summary of the course on the Internet somehow (or even as a ProZ article) this would be very much appreciated.

This is also a topic that we are also planning to include in the AUSIT conference to be held in Fremantle, Western Australia in November this year (for details go to www.ausitconference.org) so if you know any experts who would like to travel to Australia to present a paper on this topic tell them to contact me!
