Course description
This course aims to introduce students to the basic skills of consecutive interpreting. Students will study the preparation, writing and delivery of short, set-time speeches on a wide variety of topics, thus familiarising them with the type of language and set expressions they may encounter when working as interpreters. Emphasis will be placed on content, structure, delivery and non-verbal skills. Note-taking will be introduced so students can learn to take effective notes in actual interpreting situations.
