Shahzaib Rais
I am Shahzaib Rais. I have done M.A. in French (2015-17) from The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad. Over the period of these two years, I have studied French literature, history, culture and the teaching of French as a foreign language. Translation Studies is another discipline whose methodologies and strategies were of special interest to me during the coursework. Prior to this, I also hold an M.A. in Sociology and M.Phil in European Studies from Jamia Millia Islamia University, Delhi. I have already worked as Junior Librarian in Alliance Française de Delhi. I have also had the occasion of doing an internship with the reputed organisation Butterflies, which works with homeless children.
I aspire to be a professional translator who could work with any combination within the four languages – English, French, Hindi and Urdu. In this regard, I envisage the present internship with Modlingua as an opportunity to learn the nuances of translation and understand the business dynamics and explore the possibilities of incorporating technological innovations in the field of translation.
My ambition is a career that is diverse - not only in terms of the languages, societies and cultures around me, but also in terms of the subjects, skills and methodologies I am exposed to in/directly.
