SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETING

In Simultaneous Interpreting, the source is interpreted simultaneously into another language. Interpreting from one language to another requires an advanced competence in the foreign language.

PROCEEDING WITH SIMULTANEOUS

INTERPRETING

WHEN THE AUDIO SOURCE IS AN MSU FILE

If your audio source is an MSU file, you can let the students work with the source individually right away, without having to listen to the source together first (i.e. starting the activity).

If you want to give your students instructions before they start to interpret, click Session Call.

WHEN THE AUDIO SOURCE IS OTHER THAN AN MSU

FILE

If your source is other than an MSU file, you will first play the source material once in order to initiate the activity to connect the source to the students and to start recordings. After that you can free the students to listen to and re-record their output again.

1. To initiate the activity, click Start. The source is connected to the students and the recording start.

If your source is an MSU file, the activity starts when you click the Start button. If the source is any other than an MSU file, remember to start also the source player. For example, to start to play a CD, click play in the CD player. The students don’t hear themselves as they interpret the source

(Sidetone OFF).

Note that pausing the activity pauses also the recordings.

2. To end the activity, click End. A window for saving the master track or collecting the student tracks opens.

If your source is an MSU file, clicking the End button stops also the MSU player. If your source is other than an MSU file, remember to stop the source player also.

SAVING THE SOURCE MATERIAL

In Simultaneous Interpreting, the program defaults for recording both the master and student tracks during the activity. This means that at the end of the activity, a window opens where you can choose to save the recorded material for later use and collect the student tracks for evaluation.

Æ For more information about saving the source material and collecting the student tracks, see Saving and collecting

the tracks.

ALLOWING STUDENT'S ACCESS TO THEIR

RECORDERS

3. To free the students practice individually, click Free. The students are now able to work with their track individually.

MONITORING STUDENTS

While your students are working individually, you can listen to them by using the monitoring feature.

4. To monitor a student, click on a student icon. A monitoring panel appears.
