ADVANCED METHODS OF INTERPRETING - Dr Huong

This course is designed to equip students with more theories and practice in the area dialogic and conference interpreting. The focus will be on consecutive interpreting with note-taking, which is different from the 'Approaches to Interpreting' which focused much on consecutive interpreting without note-taking. The knowledge acquired from the course should enable students to identify primary and secondary ideas and to apply the diagonal layout to take notes. Students will also have opportunities to practice using symbols denoting the concept of 'expression' and 'motion' - which subsumes eleven minor concepts. Although the focal point of the course is on consecutive interpreting, students will also have a chance to familiarize themselves with simultaneous interpreting so that they will be able apply basic priniples into their future professionalism.
