The course Community Interpreting: context and techniques provides an overview of the relevant procedural actions that are necessary for the performance of an interpreting assignment in the context of the public service, administration and communication of the government with the non-Dutch-speaking citizen. At the beginning, this course provides an insight into the basic concepts of community interpreting, especially in view of the unclear demarcation of this concept in the theory of translation and interpreting. The definition of this concept is problematic when comparing the context of community interpreting and the position of the interpreter in this sector in the Low Countries and Central Europe. Our aim is to help you understand the position of the interpreter and the practical implementation of interpreting services in this sector. That is why we focus our attention on different types of interpreting, interpreting techniques and contexts that we encounter within community interpreting. Particular attention is paid to the theory and practical exercises of note-taking. Three different case studies are elaborated on the most common situations that apply within community interpreting (education, the medical sector and social services). The course also includes a thorough evaluation of the quality of the actual interpreting assignments.
