Materials for developing interpreting skills
Tumová, Ema ; Čeňková, Ivana (advisor) ; Malkovská, Alžběta (referee)
This thesis focuses on materials for developing interpreting skills. Its objective is to explore existing materials and conduct an in-depth analysis of several of them. It focuses on the Czech production but also partially examines Slovak publications. First, the theoretical part outlines the basic terms and concepts: interpreter training, interpreting competencies and skills, instructional materials. Then the empirical part presents the actual research, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods. An overview of currently available materials, mainly Czech, and partly also Slovak, is compiled, with a brief description of each of them. This is followed by an in-depth analysis based on the investigated parameters (trained competence, activity, possibility to perform the exercise independently, possibility of variation, only one correct solution, role of speed). This section traces what is characteristic of the exercises from three selected publications. The results of the analysis suggest which exercise books are likely to be more suitable for self-study and which for use in the classroom. This thesis can serve as a practical resource for authors of new publications, as well as for those interested in interpreting who are looking for appropriate resources for practicing interpreting skills.
