Objectives
This course is designed to consolidate the interpretation strategies based on the competences learned in the previous two semesters. It further improves the skills necessary for consecutive and liaison interpreting and introduces the basics for simultaneous interpretation. Special emphasis is placed on the development of general background information, on detailed and more precise note-taking and preparation for non-real interpreting assignments (e.g. writing glossaries).
