Manage complex discourse settings
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to interpreters working in a range of complex settings for a variety of purposes, where the interpreter has physical, visual or audio access to participants and can take limited or very subtle action to direct participants and manage communication flow.
This unit describes the outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage the physical setting and communication dynamics of discourses in complex settings. It requires knowledge of the nature and structure of complex interpersonal, institutional and meeting dynamics and the ability to apply effective solutions to challenges that arise during the discourse. The unit includes planning the discourse, managing the communication flow, and reviewing and evaluating the discourse management process.
The complex setting may create additional demands in managing the discourse. The physical elements of the setting or number of parties involved can challenge the capacity of the interpreter to manage the discourse.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication
