Training Interpreters in Languages of Lesser Diffusion, webinar

The objective of this AIIC and SYDISE LIC online forum is to investigate the way in which courts and other institutions train proficient linguists to become interpreters when there are no official interpreting courses in their language. These languages are referred to as languages of lesser diffusion. Traditional interpreting training methods cannot therefore be applied as they rely on trainers having command of both skills: proficiency in a specific language combination as well as interpreting techniques. So how have courts and institutions addressed this problem? Our three speakers, Christiane Driesen, Annie Bougault De Benedictis and  Alfred Goma- Ballou  will discuss how this has been done particularly with simultaneous interpretation and with specific focus on current practice at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
