Domain-based studies in interpreting - BMEGT60S141

The objective of the course is to expand trainees’ background knowledge, to become familiar with topical issues and be informed about basic topics such as environment, politics, the EU, economy, social issues, healthcare, education and law.

Not only will they become equipped with general knowledge but based on the news items, articles and studies they will be able to build an extensive thematic glossary.

2. have acquired a relatively large body of basic and specialist vocabulary;
3. understand the basic process and interconnections of the given to topic or area.
