Fundamentals of Interpreting

3 Credits

Students will develop a systematic, reflective approach to interpreting in real-world settings and gain an understanding of the use of different modes of interpreting under professional working conditions. This course also provides an overview of interpreting skills, with exercises to develop them, including focus on active listening and analysis, effective use of memory, and delivery of the target message. Interpreting strategies and techniques in both dialogue and formal consecutive settings are discussed in a range of interpreting domains and practiced in the context of real-world exercises, enabling students to develop strategies to identify, analyze, and resolve difficulties and challenges in professional practice contexts.
