The following global ideas guide the design and delivery of this course:
- Interpretation requires the ability to complete a series of highly complex cognitive tasks.
- Accurate interpretation entails analyzing the source language and identifying propositions.
- Discerning speaker goal and analyzing contextual factors are crucial steps in the interpreting process.
- Understanding communication as a shared, social process of co-constructing meaning is important for interpreters.
- Discourse analysis and translation tasks are key foundations for the development of skills in consecutive and simultaneous interpretation.
- Lecture/discussion
- Practice
- Audio visual
