The lawyer in conference with his client

This article proposes that while speech‐communication programs in two‐year colleges should be flexible and adaptive to student needs, the common denominator of these needs is the improvement of oral communication skills. Insofar as speech‐communication departments do this they are providing a “service'’ to all students.     

论会议口译的译前准备

会议口译作为一种高强度、高难度的跨文化、跨语言脑力活动,其成败与否在很大程度上取决于口译员的译前准备程度。为了减轻口译现场的压力和负荷,提高口译质量,译员必须进行译前准备。本文从会议内容和译员自身两方面阐述了会议口译准备过程中应注意的问题。

The modernisation of higher education in Mexico

Following the Second World War, higher education in Mexico began a series of fundamental changes that taken together, altered the profile of the traditional university. It developed into a system which in its academic, social and political functions became highly complex as well as diverse, given the variety of institutional options and professional development schemes.The transition took place both at the institutional level and was system wide. The former was accompanied by expansion in the organisation as a whole. It involved updating the curriculum and the overhaul of administrative, managerial and planning mechanisms. At the latter level, the most significant change involved reforming the major component parts; the territorial distribution of access to education, and carried across the various fields of knowledge and disciplines, bore down on the level and allocation of different funding sources. These developments are best analysed within the perspective context of academic diversification and differentiation.
