Consecutive interpreting (C language) -Spanish - level 3 3200-M2-3TKOCH3
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 and presented at different speeds, initially about 3 - 4 minute-long, going up to 5-6 minutes 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, students also learn about and practise liaison/ad hoc/dialogue interpreting with dynamic directionality switches. 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. The also course features an introduction to the use of portable interpreting equipment (PIE, bidule) in consecutive interpreting.
Student workload:
30 contact hours;
25 hours of preparation for classes;
5 hours of preparation for assessment.
A total of approx. 60 hours = 2 ECTS.
FORMS OF WORK:
If classroom learning is impossible, the workshop will be conducted with the help of distance communication tools, most probably Google Meet and others recommended by the University.
