Interpreting Laboratory equipped with an teacher/instructor console and six booths compliant with international standards


Description

The Interpreting Laboratory provides a professional environment for the training of simultaneous interpreting. It enables students to practice interpreting from a variety of input sources, including pre-recorded audio, online materials, and live speech delivered via the instructor’s console.
In addition to core simultaneous interpreting skills, the laboratory is equipped with professional interpreting consoles that support the development of advanced conference interpreting techniques, such as relay interpreting, pivot interpreting, and effective booth interaction between interpreters.
The instructor interface allows for real-time monitoring of individual booths, recording of students’ interpreting performances, and the provision of targeted, individualised feedback. This setup ensures a comprehensive and practice-oriented learning experience aligned with current professional standards.
