Descriere - Conference Interpretation
Speeches for Practical Activities of Consecutive and Simultaneous Interpretation for the Use of B.A. Students of Specialized Translation and Interpretation
This volume comprises a collection of speeches written by the third-year undergraduate students of the B.A. Programme for Translation and Interpretation (STI) at the Faculty of Engineering in Foreign Languages (FILS) of the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest (UTCB) as part of their home assignment for the Conference Interpretation course in the second semester of the academic year 2021-2022. It is a collection of speeches which can be used as practice material by their fellow students who specialise in this field.
The volume is meant to be a practical handbook to be used as a basis for the practice of conference interpretation, which is studied in the consecutive mode without notes in the fourth semester and with notes in the fifth semester, as well as in the simultaneous mode in the sixth semester as part of their academic curriculum.
There are ten chapters in the book, each of them dedicated to a specific topic. The topics were selected by the students from a longer list based on the idea that they should be as general as possible, so that the students can enjoy maximum freedom when tackling them, and give their imagination free reign, which they did.
