Interpreting Practice 1 - TRAN821
The unit examines and develops various techniques of key interpreting techniques, such as listening skills, text analysis, memory retention, note-taking and oral translation skills. The unit will build on theoretical principles introduced in an earlier core unit (Translation and Interpreting Theory), and will enable students to apply theory to practice, helping students to recognise factors that influence the effective use of different interpreting techniques in different contexts, as well as the decision-making involved in selecting one interpreting technique over another. Participants will be expected to perform individual, peer and group evaluations.
