Detailed description:
Student’s time investment:
2x 30=60 class hours;
2x 30=60 hrs preparation; final assignment or test preparation.
In sum: 2x 600=120 hrs, corresponding to 4 ECTS.
This course is aimed at developing students’ knowledge and skills necessary for successful consecutive interpretation. The core of the course is the practical component: exercises with texts of different lengths, initially about 2 - 4 minutes, going up to 5-6 towards the end of the semester. Throughout the course the students develop their note-taking techniques and learn to spot issues in their notes. Furthermore, throughout the entire course the instructor presents practical information on the profession of the consecutive interpreter and the interpreter’s work ethics. Apart from practising consec in the “conventional” mode, the students also learn about and practise liaison/ad hoc interpreting. The attending students can practise their practical interpreting skills but also expand their general knowledge and the knowledge of their A and B languages. At this stage, more specialist texts are introduced which are more challenging for the students and require more extensive lexical preparation.
