Simultaneous Interpreting 2 - BMEGT60S137

The main objective of the course is to consolidate and further enhance the simultaneous interpreting techniques acquired in the first semester, as well as the introduction of advanced coping strategies. Students gain an insight into analysing various text types and get to know various speaker styles and phrases often used in public speaking. They learn to distinguish between vari-ous linguistic registers and adjust their formulation to the given situation. They render shorter and longer speeches in simultane-ous mode from and into their A language. Their basic simultaneous skills and self-assessment skills are improved by analysing, interpreting and evaluating authentic audio and video recordings in classes and autonomously at home. Special emphasis is given in simultaneous tasks to the constant self-monitoring of interpreting performance. Certain unique interpreting situations also appear among the assigned tasks, e.g. simultaneous interpreting with text (SimText) and remote interpreting.

1. are aware of the factors that increase the difficulty of an interpreting task and know the advanced coping strategies used for overcoming these difficulties
2. know the individual steps of getting prepared for an interpreting assignment and the factors that may improve their own and their boothmate’s interpreting performance
3. are aware of the interpreting parameters set by the speaker’s personality and his/her presentation style, as well as the typical phrases used in specific speech types and registers.

1. are capable of rendering a shorter or longer, intermediate level speech into the target language in the simultaneous mode (both from and into their mother tongue);
2. they are able to assess their own performance and those of their peers based on various observation criteria.
3. can understand the message of the speech, can render its logical structure and line of though in a fluent and eloquent way;
4. cconsciously apply advanced strategies necessary for simultaneous interpreting (including approximation, inference, antici-pation, chunking and monitoring etc.);

1. are open to continuous self-reflection, they can retrospectively assess their own interpreting and can analyse their interpreting proces
2. in light of the expectation posed by the translation industry, they make every effort to do their job at a high quality;work in simulated interpreting setting in the spirit of booth ethics and collegiality
3. accept and apply the written and unwritten rules of professional ethics;
4. work in simulated interpreting setting in the spirit of booth ethics and collegiality

1. prepare their home assignments in an autonomous and responsible manner, and upload these assignments onto the online education platform until the given deadline
2. prepare autonomously and consciously for all (simulated or real) interpreting assignments.

Active class work and guided autonomous practice outside class: • simultaneous interpreting tasks of gradually increasing difficulty level (6-8-10-minute speeches, from A into B language and vice versa), introduction to basic simultaneous interpreting techniques and targeted exercises for practicing newly ac-quired skills • presentation and thematic projects prepared by students, mock conferences • situational tasks to practice real simultaneous interpreting settings, and raise awareness of booth etiquette • targeted autonomous practice with detailed and personal feedback and self-assessment

A hallgatók A és B nyelven tartott előadásait, valamint tolmácsolási teljesítményüket közösen értékeljük különböző módokon (egyéni tanári értékelés, társas és csoportos értékelés, szóban és írásban egyaránt). A félév során a házi fel-adatokat (hangfelvétel, jegyzetek, stb.) készítenek a megadott határidőre. A tantárgy oktatása során jellemzően fejlesz-tő értékelési technikákat alkalmazunk, a hallgatók önértékelése folyamatos.
