On 5 March 2024, the Department of Foreign Languages at JC teamed up with the Department of Translation, Terminology and Interpreting Studies at the University of Malta to offer Advanced Level students the opportunity of a workshop as a taster session for those who are interested in pursuing a career in Interpreting Studies. We were welcomed by Ms Amy Colman, Coordinator of the Interpreting programme, who gave the students a brief overview of the course and further information. This was followed by a Q&A session with a staff interpreter at the European Commission. The students also had some time to practice note-taking exercises and finally they all got the chance to step into the booths to try out simultaneous interpreting in various language combinations. This was an informative session which allowed our students a hands-on experience of this profession.
