Course description

This course builds on the interpreting skills introduced in semester 1, focussing on consecutive interpreting for formal speeches of the type likely to arise in a professional context, such as business and official governmental settings. Skills to be introduced include memory skills, logical analysis and dealing with numbers, dates and names. Note-taking skills will be further consolidated. Over the course of the semester the length and content of the source speeches will progress from entry-level standard (short, commonly encountered speeches on general topics) to intermediate level (on non-technical topics). Topics to be covered include government, business and seminars.
