This chapter outlines how Speech-to-Text Interpreting (STTI) training is being integrated at translation studies training institutions in Austria, going hand in hand with an expansion of the technical tools for implementation and a steady professionalisation of the job profile. Thereby, the description in the chapter refers primarily to the teaching of STTI at the Centre for Translation Studies at the University of Vienna. Initial sensitisation for STTI already takes place in various courses of the regular Bachelor’s and Master’s curricula; in addition, three postgraduate certificate courses were offered and completed between 2019 and 2022. Furthermore, the chapter outlines the development of a didactic approach specifically tailored to STTI, which uses existing models from translation studies and expands them to specific needs and challenges for an interpreting activity in the midst of oral and written discourse. In this context, four course units from the BA course Accessible Communication and Knowledge Transfer are presented in detail aiming to provide a didactical and practical STTI teaching tool which might be used in courses with similar objectives. These include a description of selected literature, material used, work steps, and learning objectives as well as types of peer collaboration. Course progression is reflected in the growing complexity of the requirements to be mastered as well as the increase in learner autonomy.

摘要

This chapter outlines how Speech-to-Text Interpreting (STTI) training is being integrated at translation studies training institutions in Austria, going hand in hand with an expansion of the technical tools for implementation and a steady professionalisation of the job profile. Thereby, the description in the chapter refers primarily to the teaching of STTI at the Centre for Translation Studies at the University of Vienna. Initial sensitisation for STTI already takes place in various courses of the regular Bachelor’s and Master’s curricula; in addition, three postgraduate certificate courses were offered and completed between 2019 and 2022. Furthermore, the chapter outlines the development of a didactic approach specifically tailored to STTI, which uses existing models from translation studies and expands them to specific needs and challenges for an interpreting activity in the midst of oral and written discourse. In this context, four course units from the BA course Accessible Communication and Knowledge Transfer are presented in detail aiming to provide a didactical and practical STTI teaching tool which might be used in courses with similar objectives. These include a description of selected literature, material used, work steps, and learning objectives as well as types of peer collaboration. Course progression is reflected in the growing complexity of the requirements to be mastered as well as the increase in learner autonomy.
