The minor provides you with working knowledge of common issues in Chinese / English translation and Mandarin / English interpreting, broadly based on the generic NAATI (National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters) certified credential. It introduces you to the professional practice of translation and interpreting, and explores the influence of target cultures and language genre on the translation and interpreting of written and spoken texts between English and Chinese. It additionally develops your critical analytic skills in translation and interpreting. Unlike the Chinese Translation and Interpreting Major, the minor does not provide a sufficient basis for future postgraduate coursework study e.g. in MATI.
