Introduction to Simultaneous Interpreting Theory and Practice - TRAN865
This unit is basically practice-oriented and deals with the most important aspects of simultaneous interpreting, including SI as a purposeful, communicative activity, models of SI process, skills acquired and their development and strategies employed to cope with constraints in SI. Students are required to read articles on SI from various angles and disciplines and to make presentations based upon their understanding of the theories. Its major aims are to enhance the students' awareness of the common problems in the process, understand how to achieve stage-like qualitative progress in skill development, strengthen their analytical and problem-solving abilities, and acquire relevant strategies.
