THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-STUDY IN TEACHING INTERPRETING IN A BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMME

Original language description

This article explores the significance of self-study in teaching interpreting within a Bachelor&apos;s degree programme at the Institute of Translation Studies, Charles University, Prague. The author emphasizes self-study&apos;s historical role in interpreter training, noting that classroom instruction alone is insufficient for skill development. Drawing on the experiences of past theorists, the author outlines her approach to integrating self-study into the curriculum, tailored to meet the diverse needs of students in the French-Czech language combination. The article details the structure of the Bachelor&apos;s programme, the challenges faced by incoming students regarding language proficiency, and the necessity for self-directed learning to succeed in interpreting courses. Specific self-study methods, including news preparation, structured résumé creation, specific semestral task and maintaining interpreter diaries, are discussed as vital tools for student development. The article concludes that as direct teaching hours diminish, self-study must remain a cornerstone of interpreting education, fostering both linguistic and professional competencies essential for future interpreters.
