We also make the point to all our student workers that a love of
languages plus a love of technology equals the potential for a career
as Language Technology Specialist, and we point out the job ads that
appear on LLTI as evidence. Many undergraduates still assume vaguely
that if they don't want to be language teachers their interest in
languages isn't going to be part of their future.
Best,
Nina
