외국인교수 강좌에서의 통역사의 역할에 관한 연구: 한예종 ‘연기실습’ 강좌를 중심으로

Abstract

This case study aims to improve understanding of lecture interpreting and to discuss the roles of lecture interpreter by examining characteristics of lecture interpreting. Due to the globalization trend, it's expected that lectures by visiting foreign professors continue to increase. Accordingly, lecture interpreting for them is also in demand. However, research on this area has not been properly conducted. As for the characteristics of lecture interpreting, it has differences as well as similarities vis-a-vis other types of interpreting. Among these differences the most conspicuous is that overall expectations for lecture interpreter vary depending on whether emphasis is put on the 'teaching' aspect or the 'interpreting' aspect. To investigate further these aspects, this study gives an example of a course organized by a Russian professor and discusses desirable roles of lecture interpreter. With regard to the roles of lecture interpreter, it could be summarized as follows: First, lecture interpreter needs to play the role of a mediator or a communicator. Second, lecture interpreter should play the role of a dramaturgist. Third, lecture interpreter needs to be an adviser or a counselor for students. Finally, lecture interpreter should be another educator for students. It is hoped that this study could provide a momentum to activate the discussions on lecture interpreting.
