German-Korean Interpreters, the European Market, and Training Programs in Korea

This paper explores the relations among German-Korean conference interpreters, the European market, and M.A. level training programs in Korea. After categorizing active German-Korean interpreters working in Europe in two different groups and evaluating market demand, the paper introduces data from the 2012 aiic survey such as average working days, market share, special market segments, and distribution of interpreting modes. Data interpretation will be accompanied by interviews with 6 interpreters and insights based on the author’s personal experience as German-Korean conference interpreter in Europe. Finally, the paper reviews prior researches on trends in B.A.-level German Studies in Korea and makes suggestions for interpretation and translation-related courses at the Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation(GSIT) at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. It is suggested that GSIT should actively recruit students who are native German speakers, increase specialized courses, and provide English as a potential C-language.
