Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this course students will train consecutive interpreting, from Russian into German and vice versa. They will interpret speeches and interviews from the fields of politics, economy, arts etc.. They will also produce their own speeches, so as to improve their rhetoric skills. Note-taking technique will be applied and further improved, but sometimes the students will also work without taking notes, so as to train their memory. Feedback from the peers and from the teacher and critical self-assessment will help students to improve their interpreting skills and to improve their note-taking technique.
Assessment and permitted materials
Active participation throughout the term; feedback delivered by peers and teacher; self-evaluation, based on quality criteria for consecutive interpreting (usage of note-taking technique, complete rendering, presentation, eye contact, fluency etc.).

The grade is made up of the following components:
Transcribed interpreting recordings (min. 5): 70 %
Homework and active participation in the units: 30%.
For a positive semester grade, more than half of the performances must be positively evaluated.
Interpreting is graded according to the criteria of content (50 %), target language (30 %) and interpreting skills and presentation (20 %), see assessment criteria: https://transvienna.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/z_translationswiss/Studium/Masterstudium/BEURTEILUNGSKRITERIEN_SIM-Studierende.pdf.
