What You'll Learn
This course aims to familiarize students with the key areas and theoretical aspects of interpreting, and provide the related practical sessions on each aspect covered. Students will be exposed to issues in the interpreting process, expectations of different user groups, the role of the interpreter, professional code of conduct, quality assessment, and the role of culture and politeness in interpretation. Although particular focus will be given on simultaneous interpretation, the other interpreting mode (consecutive) will also be stressed. Students will be expected to take part in mock interpreting sessions in the interpreting lab.
