Course description

This course further consolidates the consecutive and simultaneous interpreting skills required to interpret at international conferences. Through focussed interpreting practice, this course aims to further develop competence in interpreting advanced materials in both the consecutive and simultaneous modes. Particular emphasis will be placed on teaching the skills necessary for professional conference interpreters to successfully work in the local and international markets. These include heightening professional awareness, leveraging teamwork and preparation for maximum effect and successful communication with clients, colleagues and delegates. Additional skills covered include relay interpreting, remote interpreting and the use of other digital tools, such as digital terminology management tools.
