Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is for students with little or no experience in consecutive interpreting. During the semester, we will interpret a variety of texts (videos, presentations in class) into both German and English (students with English as a C language only interpret from English into German). Students will develop basic consecutive interpreting skills and coping strategies and improve their note-taking systems through various exercises. We will also practice liaison interpreting and sight translation.
Assessment and permitted materials
Continuous evaluation. Attendance and participation will be expected. Two absences will be tolerated.
The final grade will be calculated as the average of all graded interpretations throughout the semester.
Students are allowed to use their own note pads and glossaries. Use of AI applications (e.g. for preparing presentations) must be made transparent.
