Course Description

This class builds on the knowledge and practice gained in Consecutive Interpreting and focuses on concepts related to simultaneous interpretation. This course introduces the theory, strategies and information necessary to interpret in a simultaneous mode. The processing skills and processing speed needed to clearly produce an equivalent message from one language to another across a variety of registers and situations in this mode are developed through guided practice. Semantics, register, text analysis, process management, "demand-control", team interpreting, and feedback strategies as they pertain to educational settings and other venues are discussed and practiced. 

Learner Outcomes

  2. Apply strategies for finding equivalent messages between the source and target languages.
  3. Demonstrate, on an introductory level, the appropriate interpreting techniques required for effective simultaneous interpretations of selected texts.
