Students will have acquired and improved the skills needed to interpret a speech consecutively.

Consecutive interpreting of speeches from English into German. 

This course will focus on the three different components of consecutive interpreting: presentation, analysis/comprehension and memory. Students will interpret brief speeches with and without taking notes. Their performances will be evaluated in class. Students will also have to hand in self evaluations as well as prepare and present brief and simple speeches which will be interpreted by their peers.

Students' interpreting skills and performances will be evaluated on an ongoing basis; students also have to complete a self-evaluation and participate in final exams.
