Description

This course will focus on community interpreting in domestic settings. It will concentrate on two main areas of community interpreting: medical and welfare. The course will introduce students to the contextual knowledge needed to operate in these two settings and will develop the interpreting and linguistic skills necessary to work as professional community interpreters. The course will combine theory and practice and will be informed by the results of research into these subfields of interpreting. The course will consist of a one-hour lecture in English and a two-hour language specific practical tutorial.
