This new module will be offered in the new MA in Translation to students with Arabic, French, German, Italian or Spanish; it is co-taught in part with CHIN515. Students wishing to focus on two of these languages should take the 30-credit module MODL535, which allows students to follow the same taught content with assessment in two languages.
Building upon the interpreting skills students will have developed in MODL523, in this module students will receive more in-depth practical interpreting training, with a focus on consecutive and simultaneous interpreting on different topics. Throughout the module, students will enhance their knowledge of the interpreting market, industry, and profession. 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 MODL523. Authentic audio-visual materials will be used in the teaching throughout.
