Advanced interpreting competence (1 - 20cr)

Objective

Students will be able to:
- plan, prepare, execute, assess and report a development assignment designed to develop their professional skills
- identify their roles and duties, recognise the boundaries of their job description and take responsibility for their practice
- examine development assignments from a range of perspectives, identify and choose appropriate approaches.

Content

Students define their personal learning objectives for the course based on their individual needs. The mode of delivery will be agreed with the coach. For example, the assignment can be related to studies in the working languages, interpreting, multimodal interaction, translation, pedagogy and/or language and cultural studies. Students should be able to recognise the job description of a given role: e.g. interpreters, interpreting coordinators, communication instructors, event organisers, project workers, reporting or translation. The period can be organised in a Finnish or international and/or multicultural setting. The credit load varies depending on the scope of the tasks (2-15 ECTS credits, or more if necessary). For example, the learning environment can be a practical training, project and/or online setting.
