This course offers a simulated conference environment for the students to work in teams and do role-play under the guidance of instructors. They will take up the roles of speakers, panelists, interpreters, or active audience by participating in Q & A sessions. Students will be assigned these roles and will learn to make detailed preparation for the speeches ahead of time. They will have the opportunity to inform themselves on subjects that are hitherto unfamiliar. They will also learn how proper preparation will enable them to perform the SI tasks required with satisfaction. Whenever applicable, students will be brought to conference sites for guided practice and hands-on experience in SI.
The target audience of this book is the practitioners and instructors of conference interpreting and/or translation. Gile argues that professional translation entails students’ understanding of the theoretical approach that translation serves for communication between the initiator and the receptor. He points out that adding or deleting words and reframing sentences do not necessarily violate the principle of fidelity, and that translation must be conducted with discourse comprehension. Gile offers a number of models for simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting, sight translation, and simultaneous with texts, including a sequential model, the effort model of simultaneous interpreting, and the IDRC model (Interpretation-Decision-Resources-Constraints).
This book examines the topic of communication strategies, the ways in which people seek to express themselves or understand what someone else is saying or writing. Studies adopting a psycholinguistic perspective are well represented and updated. Other chapters re-examine communication strategies from a sociolinguistic perspective, exploring the strategies non-native speakers and their conversational partners use to create shared meanings in ongoing discourse. These studies reveal how communication strategies can serve to construct participants' identities and social relationships. The book incorporates a number of chapters which cover strategy-like behavior in other related areas, such as language pathology, child bilingualism, normal native adult interaction, and mother tongue education.
This book describes the origins and distinctive features of conference interpreting. The book is divided into five chapters, plus some brief conclusions. Chapter 1 is devoted to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, which is the starting point of conference interpreting in Baigorri-Jalón’s view. Chapter 2 covers conference interpreting in international organizations in the twenties and thirties. Chapter 3 shows how the interwar period was also the proving ground for simultaneous. Chapter 4 deals with the interpreters of the dictators. Chapter 5 is devoted to interpreting at the Nuremberg Trials.
