Description

Aims at providing students with foundations of professional interpreting. Essentially a practical course, it deals with subject areas most common in Australia and international contexts. Involves tasks such as dialogue and consecutive interpreting and deals with thematic areas such as welfare, social security, medical and legal. Addresses crucial interpreting and linguistic problems relevant to interpreting: problems of vocabulary, equivalents, syntax, grammar and speech register. Includes the acquisition of interpreter's practical skills and looks at socio cultural aspects of interpreting and professional ethics.

Note: High level of skills in English and a language other than English is a prerequisite. This course is available to students who have completed at least 12 units of credit or equivalent in French, German, Indonesian, Russian or Spanish and students who have completed JAPN3001 or KORE3001 or equivalent.
