<strong>English</strong> and<br />

Translation Club<br />

Joining a university club is a great way to exercise your brain and body, learn new things, and practice your<br />

leadership skills. Therefore, the <strong>English</strong> department at Prince Sattam University founded several clubs, one of<br />

them is the <strong>English</strong> and Translation club. It was created to help students practice their <strong>English</strong> in a casual setting<br />

and spread awareness about languages and their history to all those who are interested. The club is managed by<br />

Ms. Sameena Bano, Ms Warda Wahaj unnisa ,Ms. Amani AlOtaibi and lead by Ms. Sarah AlGhanem and Norah<br />

Abdulhameed Alaskar was chosen to be a student coordinator and representative. The club has weekly meetings<br />

to discuss future activities. Some of these activities include offering Hindi language classes delivered by Ms.<br />

Sameena and Ms. Warda .<br />

Several corners to raise awareness for different causes such as, bullying, violence and the benefits of a healthy<br />

diet, in addition to celebrating world translation day and offering gifts in the form of free monthly subscriptions to<br />

Cambly. Furthermore, the <strong>English</strong> and Translation Club showed in the auditorium a movie translated by the club<br />

members for everyone to enjoy. Many students from different departments attended the movie and had an<br />

amazing time. Some treats and flowers were given during the screening of the movie and the event was a success<br />

thanks to Allah and then to the hard work and dedication of the club members. In addition to all the wonderful<br />

activities, the members had a chance to visit King Abdallah’s Center for Translation and Arabization, it was an<br />

informative and eye-opening experience. Moreover, the club organized a lecture by Mr. Rayan AlFadghi who<br />

spoke about Translation difficulties and how to become a legal translator or interpreter. The club is also very active<br />

on social media, with weekly speakers on snapchat and a newly founded initiative to enrich the Arabic content<br />

through translation (Ithra). You can follow the club at <strong>English</strong>_psau on twitter and snapchat.<br />
