SPAN 31900 - Introduction To Interpretation

Those who speak two or more languages often find themselves in situations in which they are asked to translate (in written form) or interpret (orally) from one language to the other. These tasks involve different skills than those practiced in most language development classes. This course introduces students to the basic ideas, principles and techniques involved in interpreting from English to Spanish and Spanish to English. Students will also gain practice interpreting from Spanish to English and English to Spanish through guided, in-class activities. This course is designed to prepare students for further studies in interpretation, including professional trainings and/or certification programs.
