The new school year is upon us. A reason to
celebrate, not only for children and adult students; but also for the
inWhatLanguage team members, as well.
InWhatLanguage is a professional
translation agency, and as such we provide high-quality translation and
interpretation services to those who need accurate, fast results at an
affordable price. This, however, can only be achieved by the talent of thousands of extremely gifted
linguists, translators and interpreters, for whom education, and more
specifically, language education, has been a key part of their lives. Without a
good understanding of world culture,
social skills, tolerance and foreign languages, our translators would probably
lack the special touch they bring to our translations, and without it, we could
not have reached the quality level we can pride ourselves in.
For these reasons, it is obvious that we at
inWhatLanguage feel a special bond with the world of language education. We
don’t teach language per se, but we eagerly support innovative, promising
programs that offer alternatives for children and adults to improve their
language skills and get ready for a globalized world.
And there is no better way to prove this
than to actually invest in them.
Such is the case of Ken Garff Automotive Group’s community program “Road to Success”. A program of the “Success in
Education Foundation”, as described on Ken Garff’s official website, Road to
Success is “designed to reward students for making and reaching academic goals
so they feel a sense of accomplishment, thereby building the foundation for
future learning”, and it follows a strategy of offering many attractive prices
for kids in exchange for their efforts in improving their reading skills. Road
to Success has proven to be a success in itself in many many schools in the
state of Utah.
In its commitment to education AND to
languages, inWhatLanguage has decided to take part in this wonderful initiative
by sponsoring one of those schools – a dual immersion school where children
between the ages of 5 to 12 study for half the day in English and half the day
in Spanish. Furthermore, iWL members visit these children once a month and read
books to them –both in English and in Spanish-, play games and engage in all
sorts of fun, interactive activities with them.
“Our sponsorship dollars are put towards
incentives that the children can earn based on the amount of reading they
complete,” says inWhatLanguage CEO, Cody Broderick. “It’s a win-win situation
for everyone.”
After participating in the amazing Rubber
Ducky Derby, organized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, whose main goal is to
make sick children’s dreams come true, iWL’s commitment to society and children has gotten even
stronger. “Community involvement and non-profitable campaigns are also
something that we will be highly involved with moving forward,” Broderick
assures. “It really is the brand I want to build for inWhatLanguage.”
