INT 102 - Interpreting II

Interpreting II is a continuation of Interpreting I. In this course students will continue to improve on the skills needed to do professional interpreting in spoken languages. Interpreting II will incorporate more difficult passages to interpret and will introduce simultaneous interpreting. Students will focus on the separate skills necessary for the simultaneous interpreting task, such as determining lag time, shadowing, improving comprehension by chunking, focusing on production by modulating delivery, and developing an intuitive ability in their target language. An important aspect of this course will be to teach students techniques they can use to maintain and improve their skills long after they have finished the program.
