Course content
TEGN2004 builds on TEGN2002 and provides knowledge about the interpreter's role space and how an interpreter can cooperate with others in the interpreting situation. We will look at the professional's power in general, and discuss the interpreter's relation to the other participants in the interpreting situation in particular. We will also look in detail at some interpreting theories and models of the interpreting process, and how they can be useful tools for the interpreter. Here we will also discuss team interpreting, how to prepare for an interpreting assignment, and how to give feed back to colleagues.
