Institution:

Alverno College

Subject:

Description:

Prereq. SPI 210 - This course builds on Spanish health-care vocabulary and cultural awareness developed in SPI 210 and SPI 310, focusing on aspects of interpretive theory. The student is involved in practice drills and simulations designed to approximate as closely as possible challenges faced by health-care interpreters. These simulations incorporate sight, consecutive, and simultaneous interpretation drills from English to Spanish and from Spanish to English, exposing the student to a variety of interpreting settings (e.g., hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, mental health facilities). The student uses her developing expertise in Spanish health-care terminology and her awareness of cultural issues in health care to analyze and respond to the interpretive issues raised in these settings.
