Instructional Ideas

  • Flip the lesson having class members view the video, complete the comprehension check, and research some of the links before returning for a full-class discussion

Classroom Considerations

  • The video "Interpreters at Work at UNOG" models the difficulty of the process and the skills of the interpreters

Pros

  • The resource includes the video, a comprehension check, links to related articles, and discussion questions

Cons

  • Explanations of the training process are very brief and under developed
