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 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.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

An excellent command of both German and English is required.

Grading scale: ≥90% = 1, ≥80% = 2, ≥70% = 3, ≥60% = 4
