Consecutive Interpreting 2. - BMEGT60S135

Building on the competences acquired during the previous semester, the subject aims at consolidating trainees’ interpreting strat-egies (note-taking, anticipation, compression, inference, stress management, compensation strategies, etc.) as well as developing their topical vocabulary. The subject prepares trainees for their final interpreting examination where they are required to render a few-minute speech of intermediate difficulty into the target language with the use of notes. The subject also puts emphasis on the broadening of trainees’ background knowledge, it will develop note-taking to the extent where trainees can record information on details (such as the speaker’s personal opinion), the understanding of speeches delivered with various accents, and the prepara-tion for fictitious and real-life interpreting assignments.

2. are aware of skills and observation criteria required for assessing interpreting performance
3. are familiar with the basic principles of note-taking (abbreviation techniques, symbols, cohesive devices, etc.)

4. are able to assess their own performance and those of their peers based on various observation criteria;
