Language Consolidation for Community Interpreters - TRAN896

Integral to competent interpreting is the mastery of the interpreter's two languages. Interpreters require a deep understanding of the structures and usage of their languages as well as the ability to critically evaluate and improve their receptive and productive skills. In TRAN896, students will be exposed to a range of genres and professional discourses used in the institutional settings encountered in interpreting practice. They will be assessed and learn to assess themselves and their peers on the lexicogrammar, pragmatics, clarity and fluency of their languages.
