- further develop consecutive and interpreting techniques;
- learn how to prepare and deliver a real time rendering of speeches that are particularly challenging in terms of linguistic expression or content.
Assessment methods
The course includes concinuous assessment of students' progress in learning consecutive and simultaneous interpreting techniques. The exam at the end of the course will consist in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting performances from English into Italian and vice-versa.
