Interpreting Practicum

Catalog description

The interpretation practicum is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by offering students the opportunity to practice and consolidate the sight translation, consecutive and simultaneous interpretation strategies that they have been learning in their coursework. The practicum, tailored to reflect the specific needs and skills of the student, also plays a key role in preparing interpreters for future interpreting work in a variety of settings. In close collaboration with selected community partners, students will engage in supervised field work, and will integrate and reflect upon their educational, personal and professional experiences. Prerequisite: 301.
