FOREIGN LANGUAGE
ARABIC (BEGINNING) Fee:
$60
"The need for Arabic linguists has never been greater" according to Professor
of Arabic Language, Karin Ryding of Georgetown University. With Arabic the
native language of over 200 million people living in 20 different countries,
it is essential that more Americans develop and maintain linguistic and cultural
expertise in order to build a better understanding of the Arab world. While
there are many Arabic dialects, including Classical Arabic, this course will
concentrate on a widely spoken, adapted dialect, known as Modern Standard
Arabic, which is used most often in books, newspapers, on television and
radio, in political speeches, and in conversation between educated Arabs
from different countries. Once you have learned standard Arabic, it is relatively
easy to adapt to a local dialect later.

HOW TO BE A SPANISH
INTERPRETER/TRANSLATOR
(BEGINNING) Fee: $60
There is an ever-increasing need in North Carolina for
translators/interpreters in the Spanish language. This course has been designed
to offer training in both written translation and interpretation, equipping
you with the knowledge needed to meet market requirements, while also
familiarizing you with the scientific advances in translation studies. The
interpretation (oral translation) component of the class will focus on improving
concentration, speed of response, and expressiveness. While practicing the
skills of simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, you will also be exposed
to the many disciplines in which these skills are needed–from economics
and medicine to political science and the arts. You will focus on improving
your own style and deepening your awareness of the functional varieties of
the Spanish language as found in different parts of the Spanish-speaking
world.
PREREQUISITE: must have a basic to intermediate knowledge of Spanish
grammar and vocabulary

HOW TO BE A SPANISH INTERPRETER/TRANSLATOR
Fee: $60
(MEDICAL AND LEGAL)(INTERMEDIATE)
As medical professionals find ever-growing numbers of non-English speakers
in their patient loads, they realize that they need the services of highly
skilled interpreters to make sure that they are communicating adequately
with their patients. This course is designed to teach English-Spanish and
Spanish-English medical and legal/court interpreting skills to students who
already speak Spanish, but have not had training in interpreting. It will
help you acquire the techniques of sight translation, consecutive interpretation,
and simultaneous interpretation even if you have had no previous exposure
to those techniques. Medical interpreters are needed in a variety of settings:
hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices, mental health and psychiatric facilities,
and quasi-legal proceedings such as medical-legal evaluations for workers'
compensation claims or personal injury lawsuits and hearings to determine
mental competence or eligibility for benefits. For those working in a court
setting, common terms/phrases will be covered and practiced, as well as the
ability to be precise and maintain the flow of the proceedings. A wide range
of subject matter and terminology is covered in these different settings,
and many interpreters choose to specialize in one field or another.

SPANISH (BEGINNING) Fee: $60
As a beginning student in this course in basic Spanish, you will study
grammar, conversation, and culture. It is designed for those who have
Spanish-speaking customers or employees or anticipate doing business with
Hispanics. North Carolina and Cumberland County in particular has an
ever-increasing population of Hispanic residents and this course will provide
you with an opportunity to learn basic conversational skills and gain a better
understanding of Hispanic culture. Topics covered will include the alphabet
and pronunciation, key words, phrases, and basic conversation. If you own
or manage a retail clothing or grocery store or restaurant; work in an employment
agency, administer social services; or work in manufacturing, construction,
or farming, it will be to your advantage to enroll in this course. Trying
to communicate with others who do not speak your language may be difficult,
but not impossible and any improvement in your skills should pay off with
increased business and a greater appreciation for another culture. This course
should also be of interest to those who anticipate traveling to or living
in Latin America or Spain.
