Interpretation for the United Nations (Workshop)

This 15-hour workshop is open to graduates and current second-year students of the Chinese Program of the Graduate School of Translation, Interpretation and Language Education. It is designed to provide a more focused discussion and training in English-Chinese and Chinese-English simultaneous interpretation on UN related topics. Staff interpreters from the United Nations will be invited as guest lecturers, who will share their experiences working for different meetings at the UN, and provide feedback on students’ performance in class. Students are expected to prepare for the workshop by reading on topics commonly discussed at the United Nations, and familiarizing themselves with concepts and terminologies under each topic. Extensive practice after class will also be required. The workshop will be held on February 5, 12 and 19, 2022, with five hours of intensive training for each day.
