Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, we will focus on the simultaneous interpretation of texts on the level students are expected to master at the "Modulprüfung" (German>English and English>German, depending on students' language combinations).

Focus areas:
- strategies for simultaneous interpreting
- independent preparation for various topics
- relay interpreting
- preparing for the professional practice as an interpreter
- self-evaluation
In our classes, we will provide useful exercise settings to help students prepare for the "Modulprüfung." Teacher and student feedback will be provided on a regular basis.

Assessment and permitted materials

Ongoing evaluation. Attendance and active participation are a prerequisite. Two absences will be tolerated.

The use of AI applications (e.g. for preparation purposes) might be permitted on a case-by-case basis and must be made transparent.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The semester grade is calculated based on the average grade of all interpreting performances throughout the semester (90%) and active participation in class/attendance/homework and preparation (10%).

Individual interpreting performances are graded based on content (50%), target language (30%), and interpreting and presentation skills (20%). For a more detailed description, see the Center's evaluation criteria (in German): https://transvienna.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/z_translationswiss/Studium/Masterstudium/BEURTEILUNGSKRITERIEN_SIM-Studierende.pdf
