4TOLK3E12 will give the individual student an opportunity to develop their professional identity and prepare them for working as a professional interpreter. This will be acquired using learning methods and activities that to a large degree open up for students' reflecting and discussing with each other and the teachers. Most of the work will focus on cases and professional issues that students themselves have experienced and identified during their practicum periods. This means that each student has to contribute with their experiences in both oral and written activities.
