Course Description
This course aims to equip students with the skills of organizing, hosting, chairing, and participating in various types of conferences/events through reading, analyzing videos of different types of conferences, in-class exercises and discussions, and mock conference planning and execution. In-depth understanding of what a conference is about is crucial in helping interpreters-to-be understand the context of their future career and learn the proper register and language to support interpreting skill development. The practical skills and languages introduced in this course will also benefit anyone who wishes to learn how to organize or participate in international conferences confidently.
