Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Prerequisites for participation: Mastering note-taking techniques,
interpreting demanding and technical texts, interpreting text passages of up to 6 minutes. The duration of the interpretation will be continuously increased during the semester. The focus is on capturing the core messages of the speakers.
Improving the skill of consecutive interpreting in both directions ( Russian and German). Note-taking techniques will be improved
together with memory training. Linguistic skills; presentation and note-taking techniques will be developed individually so that by the end of the course the interpreters are able to provide professional interpreting services.
Consolidation in individual subject areas (politics, economics, science, medicine, etc.) with the corresponding terminology.
Ongoing improvement of vocabulary by repeating the technical terms from the texts of the last unit at the beginning of the new unit.
