Teaching methods
*Theoretical introduction to interpreting, and more specifically to consecutive interpretation. -*Preparatory exercises for consecutive interpretation, without notetaking. The keyobjective is the transfer of meaning. The focus is on- achieving a deep understanding, a critical distance (circumspection), understanding the logical links and the coherence of the rendered text
- the fluency and accuracy in language A
- the communicational skills
* Keeping up to date with current events in Russia and in international matters
- the fluency and accuracy in language A
- the communicational skills
* Keeping up to date with current events in Russia and in international matters
Evaluation methods
The approach taken to the study of consecutive interpretation is a progressive one, through splitting up, from the start, the tasks concerned into a series of discrete exercises each designed to develop a particular skill. The next step is putting these different skills together - to be able to perform high standard consecutive interpretation without the use of notes. Students perform interpretation exercises in front of an audience - and receive detailed feedback and guidance.
