90642 - Dialogue Interpreting between Russian and Italian II (Second Language)

Learning outcomes

Students will familiarize themselves with professional ethical problems and will be able to use the fundamental strategies of liaison/dialogue interpreting and apply the techniques and skills acquired in the field of linguistic mediation.

Course contents

Lessons (40h) will be held twice a week during the second term and are organised in two parts (20h).

The first lesson of the week will include additional activities in order to foster the necessary dialogue interpreting skills. These lessons will deal with active listening exercises, comprehension, memorization, summarization of oral texts and sight-translation.

The second lesson of the week, together with an Italian mother tongue teacher (Dr. Sara Polidoro), will deal with liaison interpreting exercises by doing simulations with a pre-prepared script. Every course topic will be communicated to the students beforehand.
