Important News! We will now be offering the option to receive a recording for this seminar for those who live overseas and cannot attend in real-time.

Normally, students can only join our KoreSemi seminar in real-time, but as the theme this time is professional media translators who live and work outside of Japan, we wanted to offer the opportunity to watch this seminar to students who live overseas and might not be able to join us in real-time. If you’d like to receive the recording, please leave a message in the 備考欄 comment box in the signup form indicating so. We  will send the recording within one week of the seminar.
The deadline to sign up is Sunday, March 17th, 5pm JST, so don’t miss out on this rare opportunity!

KORESEMI Panel: Preparing for a Future as a J-E Visual Media Translator is the J-E version of an extracurricular seminar for aspiring translators organized by JVTA each semester. This time, we have invited two J-E translators to talk about their experiences as professional media translators who live and work outside of Japan. Through the discussion, you’ll learn how these professionals first started out, concerns and struggles they had along the way, the merits and demerits of working outside of Japan as a J-E translator, and other valuable info. Whether you are a current or past student of our J-E course, or have not studied J-E but are interested in learning more about it, we would love for you to join us!

The panelists will be Chul Kim and Yuka Maeno, two professional J-E translators who have passed JVTA’s trial. The discussion will include how they organize their work schedule, how they network from overseas to make connections and find translation work, and other valuable info that will surely help you on your own journey to become a J-E visual media translator.

◆KORESEMI Wisdom, Essential in a Time of Change
Japan Visualmedia Translation Academy Group CEO Naoki Niira

KORESEMI Panel: Preparing for a Future as a J-E Visual Media Translator is the only extracurricular seminar that has been held every semester, without fail, since the establishment of Japan Visualmedia Translation Academy (JVTA) over twenty years ago. The progress of our students, our translators, and the panelists for this seminar is the progress of JVTA itself.

Today, freelancing is undergoing great change. We are in an age where the government has begun providing support and large corporations encourage side jobs. This applies to the visual media translation industry as well. Client companies are reviewing the laws and regulations of business, leading to a change in the way they evaluate and do business with translators. What challenges does this pose for professional translators, and how do they overcome them? KORESEMI is a unique opportunity to get a realistic perspective from actual translators, which can be hard to come by.

As the translators discuss how to manage your time and work area, or how to work with fellow translators, you’ll be able to hear a lot of fun personal anecdotes. These moments are part of what makes KORESEMI so special.

There is a reason this seminar has continued for over twenty years. It is not only effective in increasing learning and motivation, but is also a chance to gain information that will support you throughout your career.

I hope you join the seminar and make the best use of the experience in your daily work and studies.

Participation Requirements

You can take the seminar if you are able to view videos stably, such as with a computer or tablet. We recommend the use of earphones/headphones to improve your listening experience. We will have a Q&A section, so if you have a mic, please have it ready.
