From February 20 to March 11, 2012, Dmitri Bloshenko, a senior reviser in the Russian Translation Service of the UN Secretariat in New York, gave a series of master classes at the School. As in the past, our guest devoted most of the time to the translation of various materials having to do with economic subject matter, and following the completion of the three-week training course he conducted a trial test using actual examination text from the 2010 competitive exams for prospective candidates for employment as the UN translators. During the training sessions the students were demonstrated some of the typical challenges of the institutional translation with an emphasis on the need to further improve their command of the Russian language. Dmitri Bloshenko took active part in staff meetings of the School where issues of further development of translation training at the School were discussed. He also advised the students about specific topics deserving more in-depth scrutiny within the “Introduction to the Global Economy” course.
