Description

This advanced interpreting course aims to prepare students for interpreting assignments in international settings such as education, tourism/hospitality/cultural fields, and international relations and politics. Building on their skills acquired during the introductory interpreting courses (MODL5101 and MODL5102), students will enhance their analytical, cross-linguistic, memory and note taking skills, and will be able to interpret lengthier segments in complex oral genres required in the media (e.g., interviews, Q & A) and during government and other international negotiations (e.g., round-table talks).
