Language Sub-Commission 2025/2026
Language Sub-Commission
Is looking for two commissioners to work together on the tasks
Background
As the largest global students’ association for forestry and environmental studies, diversity is one of our main strengths when it comes to providing a platform to discuss multiple ideas from varying backgrounds and perspectives. However, we acknowledge the challenges that are associated with diversity when it comes to effective communication between members. On the contrary, it has also provided us with the opportunity to learn other languages from native speakers regardless of the language.
The official language used in IFSA is English, which will be our core focus. In addition to that, the official languages of the United Nations are Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian, and Arabic. Other languages which are not part of the official languages used in UN can still be considered for the language school program, however, this is dependent on the availability of eligible mentors and interested mentees.
The main project of the Language Sub-Commission is the Language school, which connects IFSA students willing to learn a different language from native speakers in IFSA. Through the 23/24 years, we have had a Spanish Language School and an Italian Language School. The other mission is to provide support in translating IFSA material into different languages.
Duties And Responsibilities
- Find mentors and mentees for the language school.
- Monitor the language school progress.
- Help to produce learning materials to help the language school.
- Coordinate with the TreE-Learning HoSC to create materials to be posted on the TreE-Learning platform.
- To help with translations, recruit native speakers/proficient speakers of other languages besides English.
- Determine the need for translation requests for IFSA activities
- Good communication skills
- Genuine interest in learning languages and leading projects that aim to promote language within the IFSA community
- Organizational skills
The average workload is 2-3 hours per week.
