Unit description
This unit is designed to further develop students' interpreting skills so that they demonstrate advanced strategies in core interpreting techniques. Students are strongly encouraged to define appropriate strategies in both language directions through self/peer practice, while continuously developing generic interpreting skills such as active listening, note taking, and memory retention. Students are also expected to develop strong critical analysis and reflective capabilities in relation to self/peers interpreting practice. In addition, two new interpreting modes will be introduced to students, including telephone interpreting and chuchotage. The unit covers specific topic areas that can be directly applied to professional practices. |
