In-class sessions
Teaching unit LINTP2310 is the first introduction to conference interpreting: students will learn how to take notes (using JF Rozan's method where note-taking relieves the burden of memory), and how to transmit the original speaker's ideas and arguments, first monolingually, then from the C language to the A language. The students will work on speeches and presentations of increasing difficulty and length that will focus on different topics and situations that may arise in consecutive interpreting.
