93195 - Theory And Practice Of Specialized Dialogical Interpretation

Academic Year 2021/2022

  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Forli
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Interpreting (cod. 8060)

Learning outcomes

The student - knows the fundamental elements (terms, concepts) of the theory of dialogue interpreting and of socio-cultural processes of interaction - is able to understand and critically evaluate different theoretical-methodological perspectives on dialogue interpreting in different professional fields - is able to conceive, manage and evaluate complex dialogue interpreting projects, also taking into account deontological aspects.

Course contents

The course consists of a first theoretical part which will illustrate some will illustrate some concepts of Conversation Analysis that can serve to clarify dialogue interpreting as a co-constructed interaction between participants and to highlight the different forms that the interpreter's translating and coordinating actions can take, depending on the constraints posed by the interactional context and the other participants’ moves.
An important role will be played by the development of decision-making skills starting from the reflection on extracts of authentic audio-visual material, where the interpreter is confronted with professional dilemmas to be solved in the hic et nunc of the ongoing interaction. The theoretical training will not outline a complete range of choices or professional fields, but will rather lead to observe and discuss the existence of a variety of possible actions, with different consequences for the development of the interaction, as well as to reflect on how interpreters’ role-space is built together with the other participants, and therefore on the problems that may arise in case of competitive and non-functional overlaps.

 

The practical part of the course, which will start in week 8, consists of 20 hours exercises for language pair (each student will attend them both in their B and in their C language) given by five different teachers:
Prof. Omar Barbieri (omar.barbieri2@unibo.it): Italian<>German;
Prof. Lyubov Bezkrovna (lyubov.bezkrovna2@unibo.it): Italian<>Russian;
Prof. Giorgio Charissiadis (giorgio.charissiadi2@unibo.it): Italian<>French;
Prof. Paolo Cortucci (paolo.cortucci@unibo.it): Italian<>English;
Prof. Maria Fernanda Sabarros (maria.sabarros2@unibo.it): Italian<>Spanish.

Please note that 10 of the 20 hours of exercises per language pairs will be carried out in co-presence with two other colleagues:
Prof. Mariachiara Russo (mariachiara.russo@unibo.it): for Italian<>Spanish;
Prof. Eleonora Bernardi (eleonora.bernardi5@unibo.it): for all language pairs with the exception of Italian<>Spanish.

Teaching methods

The training objective is to highlight the need for flexible choices that can be made relevant by the situational context (e.g. in the medical context it is relevant that the patient expresses his/her symptoms) and interactional context (e.g. locally it may be relevant that the doctor asks questions in a certain way) of dialogue interpreting. To achieve this goal, the teaching methodology will leave ample room for students' active participation, while the teacher will orient the use and understanding of the proposed materials.

In the first of the two weekly lessons, the Conversation Analytic Role-play Method (https://www.carmtraining.org/) will be used and some excerpts of interactions in different languages and multiple professional fields will be proposed. Students will be asked to describe their characteristics and to propose reactions to conversational turns identified as potentially problematic, e.g. because they project next actions that are not necessarily (or immediately) a rendition of prior talk and therefore require the interpreter to choose which translating and/or coordinating action to implement, as well as, in some cases, to solve professional dilemmas.
In the second of the two weekly lessons, some theoretical and deontological aspects emerged from the authentic interactions previously analysed and discussed will be explored in greater detail, and the teacher will present potentially useful resources to make informed decisions, which also consider possible or probable consequences on the interaction (teleological approach to the profession).
In week 8 students will start attending 20 hours of practice per language pair, where the purpose of the proposed role-plays will not be to play a part well, nor to take the actions of authentic interlocutors as a model. The role-plays will rather serve to understand how to immediately react to prior talk producing different types of translating and coordinating actions, as well as to test the communicative effectiveness of different reactions and sequences in the student's working languages. These exercises will cover different professional fields and will therefore be in line with a theoretical course aimed at raising awareness of the complexity of authentic interaction in different macro contexts (medical, legal, social, educational, media, etc.) as well as at offering a common methodology to reflect on complex issues and choices which, in addition to strong linguistic and communicative skills, also require decision-making and problem-solving skills.

In view of the type of activity and teaching methods adopted, attendance at this training activity requires the prior participation of all students in modules 1 and 2 of the training on safety in the workplace, https://elearning-sicurezza.unibo.it/, in e-learning mode.

Assessment methods

Interview of about 20 minutes in which the student will be asked to present an excerpt of an interaction (chosen among those presented or interpreted in class, or analysed in the literature) and to comment it in the light of what s/he will have studied in 2 research papers/chapters chosen among those proposed below. The student may be asked to analyse the selected excerpt using the conversational concepts studied in class and to propose next actions justifying his/her choice on the basis of the theory studied and the exercises carried out, possibly mentioning other equally possible choices and their different consequences for that interaction. During the interview, students’ Italian language skills (ability to speak coherently and cohesively in Italian and to use the appropriate register and lexicon) will be evaluated together with their knowledge on the course subjects and with their ability to relate them to their ongoing learning experience and to their future professional practice.
An examination which demonstrates a very broad, complete and thorough knowledge of the contents, a well-established ability to apply theoretical concepts and an excellent command of exposition, as well as an excellent ability to analyse, summarise and make interdisciplinary connections will be assessed as excellent (30-30L).
An examination which demonstrates precise and complete knowledge of the contents, an excellent ability to apply theoretical concepts, the ability to analyse and summarise, and a secure and correct presentation will be assessed as excellent (28-29).
An examination which demonstrates appropriate knowledge of the content, good ability to apply theoretical concepts, articulate presentation of the content will be assessed as good (25-27).
An examination which demonstrates appropriate but not in-depth knowledge of the content, a reasonable ability to apply only part of the theoretical concepts, and an acceptable presentation of the content will be assessed as fair (21-24).
An examination which demonstrates sufficient but general knowledge of the contents, simple and not always sure exposition, uncertainties in the application of theoretical concepts will be assessed as merely sufficient (18-20).

The overall assessment of the student will also take into account the work done during the 20 hours of practice in the language pair Italian <> B Language.
Any rejection of a mark must be communicated to the teacher within two days of the announcement of the result of an examination.


Research papers/chapters for the oral exam

During the course, the list below (in alphabetical order) will be accompanied by a list by macro-arguments, so that students can consciously choose the 2 contributions to be prepared for the exam and the interaction extract (already discussed or interpreted in class, or analysed in the literature, but NOT in the 2 chosen contributions) to which they will apply their readings.
