Students incorporate linguistic and functional text analyses into their consecutive interpreting performances. Students work with recorded messages and with guest speakers in interpreting situations that include monologues, dialogues, interviews and group discussions. Emphasis is on accurate and fluent interpretations, and students are introduced to team interpreting techniques. This interpreting lab, to be taken concurrently with SpEd 441, offers students an opportunity to apply the theories and to practice the techniques introduced in the Interpreting III class. In this lab, students practice consecutive interpretations of spontaneous monologues, dialogues, interviews and group discussions.
Students also practice team interpreting techniques.
This course concentrates on the successful interpretation of texts within a simultaneous interpreting framework. Students are expected to produce accurate and fluent simultaneous interpretations of increasingly difficult monologues, dialogues, interviews and group discussions. Students are introduced to transliteration, producing accurate and fluent transliterations over a variety of topics. This course investigates current issues facing the professional interpreter.
