UNIT CODE

PSPTIS133

UNIT TITLE

Interpret through communication media

APPLICATION

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to use technology to support interpreting in visual or physical isolation. The unit includes familiarity with the technology available for interpreting situations and the potential impact of the technology on the interpreting assignment and its outcomes. It includes the management skills required to adjust delivery to take account of the constraints and advantages of the technology.

 

This unit applies to those working as interpreters in all consecutive and simultaneous modes in dialogue settings conducted through a range of communication media and may have applications for interpreting for people in remote, interstate and international locations. The physical barrier of technology confirms this as a complex setting.

 

The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian Standards and industry codes of practice.

 

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
