Library Pocasts: Interpreting Practice

St George TAFE Library staff have been producing podcasts with information about the library services and instructions on how to use different technology and library facilities. Although they are specifically talking about St George college, most of what they say can be applied to any college library and many other libraries in Australia. Their instructions on how to use technology are also general.

Some of their podcasts are in Languages Other Than English (LOTE), so they are great practice for interpreting students.

These are some of the podcasts:

• English: Internet searching
  

• English: Library etiquette
  
• EnglishUsing TAFEcat

• Cantonese: SES username and password

• Cantonese: Plagiarism

• Arabic: Copyright

Mandarin: SeS username and password

Spanish: How to borrow from St George Library

Spanish: Off campus services

Podcasts: Interpreting

Hi all,

A reminder for all our interpreting students about our Podcasting blog, Let's talk.

You will find interviews that will help you with the topics studied during your interpreting courses.

If you go back and listen to older podcasts, you can listen to a variety of Sydneysiders who speak with a variety of accents about a great many topics.

Most of the recordings are supplemented by a worksheet to give you extra help and practice with the listening, vocabulary, etc.

Remember that you can subscribe to this podcast through itunes and download it onto your ipod.

Have fun!
