1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for 30 hours.
My 30 hours will consist of meeting separately with two people I know, one who is fluent in Spanish and one who is fluent in Chinese. These meetings will basically consist of hanging out and conversing in each person's respective mother tongue. In addition to practicing the language, I will also be able to get some insight on the culture of each person's native country and how their language relates to it.
2. Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
To show evidence for my component, I will take pictures with the two people I meet with and any activities I do with them. I will also type up something for each person to sign verifying the number of hours I spent talking with them.
3. Explain how this component will help you explore your topic more in depth.
There are two main was that my independent component will help me explore interpretation more in depth. The first is that through practicing speaking Chinese and Spanish I will gain a better perspective on my first EQ answer, which is regarding language fluency. Since one must be fluent in a second language in order to becoming an interpreter, I feel that learning and practicing with native speakers I am acquainted with will be very beneficial to me both in my project and in general. The second way my component will deepen my exploration of my project is that by spending time talking with people who are actually from and have lived in Chinese and Spanish-speaking countries, I will be able to learn about the culture behind the two languages. This relates to what I am planning for my second EQ answer, which is that interpreters must have a thorough knowledge of the culture of both languages in order to best ensure understanding.
4. Update your senior project hours log.
Done.
