I.Course Introduction :
This course aims to teach candidates for Master of Interpreting and Translation the fundamentals of sight translation. Using texts on different topics, the course will assist students in developing related skills, such as fast reading, scanning for main ideas, linguistic analysis, and cross-cultural communication. Texts selected for exercises vary in terms of length and degree of technicality: from short, easy-to-understand texts at the beginning of the course, to lengthier and slightly specialized ones towards the end. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to quickly read and understand a written source text, so as to spontaneously translate it into a spoken target one.
