TE KOA O NGĀ REO | THE JOY OF LANGUAGE

Times are tough. Let’s focus on the joy we find in language. Language connects us all, and we language professionals are lucky to have it as our bread and butter. Let’s explore the joy of using, experiencing and working with language in its myriad shapes and forms.

Under the theme TE KOA O NGĀ REO | THE JOY OF LANGUAGE, the 2022 NZSTI Conference brings together professional translators and interpreters, industry stakeholders, educators, academics and students to discuss what it means to work with language, how language impacts our daily lives and how we can best use language.

The call for presentations has now closed

The conference programme and speakers will be announced shortly.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2022 NZSTI Conference.

The story behind the logo

The joy of language develops like ripples in the water. The moment we hear the first words in our native language is the stone that breaks the water's surface. This is where our journey starts. We take small steps, moving from basic babbling to more advanced communication. For some, reading a fantastic book can have such a ripple effect; for others it might be learning a new language. Everyone’s language journey is different, but we all have one thing in common: the stone that sets it in motion.
