Description

Aims to develop and consolidate interpreting skills. Students will practice short-term memory exercises, short consecutive (dialogue interpreting) interpretation, sight translation and consecutive interpreting of longer passages with note-taking. Topics include community interpreting areas, such as hospitality, social welfare, education, medical and legal. Pre-translation analysis includes active listening/comprehension, rephrasing and reformulation of the text, discussion of text type and genres, communication patterns. Students learn to research areas relevant to their interpreting topics, use reference materials, build thematic glossaries and discuss interpreters' professional ethics.
