Programme history

  • Introduction

    Emnet Tolking i offentlig sektor gir en praktisk-teoretisk innføring i tolkefaget som forbereder studentene på tolking av institusjonelle samtaler i norsk offentlig sektor, der tolking gjør tjenestemenn og andre fagpersoner i stand til å informere, veilede og høre partene i saker med språkbarriere.

  • Other information

    The course consists of 1 introductory meeting, and 6 - 12 seminars of 4 x 45 minutes, and time for discussion and a final seminar (4 x 45 minutes). The introductory meeting takes place 2 weeks ahead of the main part of the course. At this meeting, the structure, content and purpose of the course are presented. The students are asked to give short presentations of their Ph.D. projects, and describe how the course is relevant to it. The main purpose of this early session is to help the students to start systematic work with the course readings.

    The seminars target central themes from the course readings for discussion and reflection. A high level of student participation is expected. During this time, students will produce several reaction papers (3 - 4 pages double spaced), and a final presentation of one central theme from the course. Themes are assigned by the lecturers.

    The final seminar consists of a discussion of the presentations, which are distributed in advance as papers not to exceed 10 pages double spaced, and introduced by each candidate in a short (3 minute) session. Course teachers mediate the discussions.
