Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research study aimed at developing teaching materials for company meetings involving ‘whispering’ mode of interpreting. Whispering is used often at company meetings for relatively small number of foreign participants listening to speakers in mother tongue of that company. Usually an interpreter ‘whisper’ rendition to foreign participants. In the case of Japan when English speaking foreign visitor speaks in English that is rendered using consecutive interpreting to larger number of Japanese audience but the Japanese reaction is rendered in ‘whispering’ mode. According to hearings conducted as part of this research three industries, namely pharmaceutical, IT and financial industries were identified to have frequent needs for such interpreters. Specific teaching material for each of those three industries were developed with special emphasis on financial industry with full cooperation from IFM in actual business setting.
