Simultaneous Interpretation: Monterey Institute of International Studies

Monterey Institute of International Studies

Introduction to Interpretation
Acquaints students with conference interpretation in general and consecutive interpretation in particular. This course establishes the foundation for developing the professional skills of consecutive interpretation, emphasizing the ability to understand and analyze a message in the source language (SL) while conveying it in the target language (TL) in a straightforward and clear manner. One of the primary goals of the course is to help students develop the ability to identify, analyze, and paraphrase the meaning in the SL and establish logical relations between its components. Students practice listening to and repeating the content of passages of increasing length and difficulty.
