What do we know about public opinion and behaviour? And how do we know about it? This module provides an in-depth examination of at least three topics in the broad field of public opinion. Each topic will be led by an expert in the field. For each topic, you will learn about the latest research, the latest methods used to study it, and then implement the methods yourself in computer labs, using specialist software. You will leave the module with a high-level understanding of each topic as well as generalisable skills in quantitative analysis and coding.

The module presumes background knowledge from PAIR2018/3027 but no background or experience in coding or statistics. The module is about application and use rather than comprehensive statistical understanding.

This module will provide students with both a practical and theoretical insight into the role of a Public Service Interpreter. Beginning with a general introduction to interpreting, it will go on to focus more in depth on the wide range of issues and challenges faced by these cultural and linguistic mediators. In addition to identifying these and deciding how best to resolve them, through lectures and seminars students will also learn how to develop the strategies and skills required – including note-taking and sight translation, as well as honing understanding of verbal and non-verbal communication cues – in this field in order to bridge the gap between Service Users and Service Providers in a range of public service contexts. Alongside this, independent study and practice, in which glossary building will play an important part, will be essential to improvement in students’ interpreting skills. Given the global nature of society today, linguists are increasingly in demand so whether students go on to enter the interpreting profession or not, the heightened awareness of intercultural issues and ability to overcome these fostered by this module will undoubtedly be of use to them.

Please keep in mind completion of Stage 5 in either French or Spanish with English as L1, or completion of English Stage 5 (or equivalent) with French or Spanish as L1 is a pre-requisite for this module.
