Modes and Modalities in Interpreting
This online module was prepared in partnership with Macquarie University.
Description
Release Date: 15 September 2021.
This online module was prepared in partnership with Macquarie University.
Interpreting services can be provided in a multitude of contexts and settings, onsite and remotely, indoors and outdoors, with or without equipment, for a varying number of listeners, for source-language utterances of varying duration, etc. To provide their services in any of these situations, interpreters can resort to different modes used in different modalities. What are they and what does each of them entail? What do interpreters need to do and know to perform well in each of them?
This module will cover:
-
An overview of the different interpreting modes and modalities: consecutive interpreting (long and short), simultaneous interpreting (from a booth, with portable equipment, whispering, with text), sight translation/sight interpreting
-
Characteristics of use and requirements for each mode and modality
-
Interpreting and technology: a place for new hybrid modes?
Who would this be useful for?
-
T&I practitioners, students, trainers and users of T&I services who have an interest in understanding what interpreting modes and modalities are and in what communication situations they can be used.
