Interpreting Practice 1 - TRAN821
This 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 TRAN870, 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.
The unit consists of lectures and tutorials. Lectures topics cover both interpreting theory, such as basic principles and techniques, as well as specific interpreting topics, such as education, environment, law, and so on. Lectures are complemented by weekly tutorials which run throughout the semester in language-specific groups. Tutorials are aimed at enhancing students' interpreting skills through hands-on practice.
