What happens when you run some of the most famous words by William Shakespeare through several layers of Google translate? You get quotes like these:

"Good, soft! Which light falls on the broken window? This is the east and Julia is the sun."
"Oh Romeo, Romeo! Why are you Romeo. Deny your father, don't deny your name."
"Good morning, Kate; because it's your name, I'll hear it."
"Read to me, Kate."
"Maybe! Maybe! my kingdom for horses."
"Now our winter pain. Today is a beautiful summer in York."
"Our joy is over. They are our actors, As I expected, all the spirits, It flies in the air, in the wind:"
"Now my attractions are many, What power do I have"

Each class will begin with a summary of the play up until the point of the scenes covered in that week's class, then learners will take turns reading plays by William Shakespeare that have been translated into a variety of languages using Google Translate, before being translated back into English, along with a brief description of the content of the scene. If time allows we may also read part of the actual play during the class. Each section will read a different Shakespeare Play. Shakespeare plays are not always easy for people today to read and understand, but hopefully by doing this things will be easier to understand, and definitely funny. Learners are encouraged to read the plays for themselves before or after class as well, or watch a dramatization of the play.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I saw my first Shakespeare play 25 years ago and have loved watching and reading Shakespeare ever since. One of my favorite classes in college was British literature where we spent a lot of time analyzing and understand the content and meaning of some of Shakespeare's plays. I enjoy the stories and the language, but even I have trouble understanding it at times. So, I like to spend time listening and reading to figure out what the characters are saying, and I want to pass that on to the learners who take my class. By using Google translate we can hopefully have a better understanding of what the words mean, if not I want to help learners discover it.
