Tandem teaching in the education of public service interpreters

Skaaden, Hanne (author), Radanović Felberg, Tatjana (author)

This chapter addresses the question of how to perform tandem teaching within an experiential-dialogic approach to learning and focuses on how course co-ordinators assist in the facilitators’ preparation for their joint activities in the classroom. There are two types of facilitators in the model: facilitators of inter-preting strategies and facilitators of language strategies cooperating in the su-pervision of role-played exercises. The chapter first presents the training mod-el developed at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet). Then, it describes the basic ideas, aims, and organization applied in coaching the facilitators on how to cooperate in the classroom. The model’s foundation is on-the-job training that includes seminars, follow-up meetings both on-campus and online, and group and individual feedback and evaluations. After presenting the training model, we discuss some advantages and challenges associated with the ap-proach.
