授業概要 This course helps students gain basic interpreting skills in English and Japanese while nurturing intercultural understanding. Interpreting is an extremely useful skill when working for a company that conducts business with foreign clients. Interpreting, however, is not simply a linguistic skill but it requires a deep understanding of the clientユs socio-cultural background as well as their communication styles. In this course, students learn linguistic skills while paying attention to socio-cultural and communication issues. This is an intensive and demanding course. Further, studentsユ English competency needs to be sufficiently high in order to succeed in this class.

１．know basic rules and expectations about interpreting
２．be able to use basic practice techniques such as shadowing, note-taking, summarizing, and retention.
３．be able to perform interpreting on several topics with reasonable fluency and accuracy.
