Course Description

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to understand and use routine education terminology in two languages, sufficient to interpret between the two languages in general dialogue or monologue settings in educational contexts.

This unit applies to those working as interpreters in a range of educational, training and children’s education services contexts. The interpreter may be required to interact with students and their families, principals, teachers, administrators and pastoral care staff.

General settings are those in which the context is broad and routine, the content or complexity of the situation can usually be predicted and planned for, and there are opportunities for error correction. Interpreting may be completed onsite or remotely. The elements of the setting permit the interpreter to manage the interaction to ensure that utterances are suitable for retention and recall. Miscommunication or consequences of errors in communicative intent that may occur in this setting are readily managed through consultation and preparation.

This unit will be delivered in a cluster as follows:

Terminology cluster:   • LANG5880C Sight translate • LANG5874C Use routine health terminology in two languages • LANG5877C Use routine education terminology in two languages
