Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 1

In this module, students will gain advanced practical interpreting skills in sight translation, public service interpreting/liaison interpreting, and consecutive interpreting covering a range of topics (e.g. medical, educational, tourist, political, immigrant related) and settings. Authentic and realistic audio-visual materials will be used in the teaching throughout, which is reflective of actual interpreting in the industry. Throughout the module, students will learn about the main theories in interpreting studies and the etiquette, professionalism and career development relating to the interpreting industry and market. Also, students will reflect on their interpreting practice, justify their decisions, and evaluate each other’s performance, drawing on some of the concepts and theories they have learned from the theoretical module. This module features consistent formative feedback from the tutor(s) and peer feedback.
