Innovative Ways of Teaching Liaison Interpretation: Two-Layered Manifestation of the Platform Economy
Résumé
This paper addresses the teaching of liaison interpretation in terms of design adaptation to new modes of communication in the current platform economy. Based on our understanding of the platform economy as any internet platforms that connect dispersed networks of individuals to facilitate digital interactions…in a triangular relationship between three parties”—platform, worker, and customer (Deloitte, 2019), we will present the design
of a mini-series of interpreting lessons mimicking and revising this triangular aspect as platform, student (simulated worker), and simulated customer. We will discuss the student evaluation process which allows us to simulate the authentic conditions of liaison interpretation.
