Course Description

This unit covers skills and knowledge required to undertake interpreting from a source language into a target language in complex monologue settings, in what is usually known as consecutive interpreting mode. The complex settings are usually meetings, conferences and group activities which are typically characterized by high level of subject knowledge,  intense assignment specific preparation, use of public speaking skills,  lack of opportunities to correct errors and difficulty to predict content. The main focus is to preserve the communicative intent of the message and transfer the meaning using a range of techniques. 

This unit will be delivered in a cluster with the following units:
