As many scholars have pointed out, interpreting is an age-old practice, given the need for communication across languages and cultures, but as an acknowledged practice it was established in the early to mid-20th century, with the first academic courses appearing in the late 20th century and research in the field following suit.
This course aims at exploring this comparatively new discipline and presenting a comprehensive overview of the field, with special emphasis on key scholars, and recent developments in the field, both in research and practice. Students will be introduced into a critical discussion of issues relevant to interpreting quality, interpreting ethics, technology and interpretation, interpreting strategies, interpreting skills, etc. The course will also include practical exercises which will enable students to understand these issues.
