Course description

This is an interpreting practicum, involving consecutive and simultaneous interpreting of presentations by guest speakers in front of an audience. Students will be required to liaise with speakers in advance in order to prepare for the Forum. Topics vary from general to specialised, and as far as possible the presentation will be of the type likely to arise in a real interpreting situation. The final hour is devoted to a clinic, where students' performances and issues are discussed. Guest presentations will be in all languages of the program. A feature of the course will be the requirement for relay interpreting, where the language of the speaker is not one of the interpreters' working languages. Given the increasing worldwide demand for remote interpretation, presentations may be given either in person in front of a live audience, or remotely in the form of a web meeting.
