1. Consecutive without notes

This practical workshop will introduce and practise a variety of techniques for memorising content heard in consecutive-type speeches. We’ll practice those techniques both in isolation and in combination to give you something that is immediately applicable in the real world. We’ll also look at number of mnemonic techniques that interpreters have used in the past.

2. Consecutive note taking

Over the last 20 years however a variety of empirical studies have shown that a structured and deliberate note-taking technique can improve consecutive interpreting. In this practical workshop we will revisit some of the fundamental techniques in note-taking and practise their use. Ideas, positioning on the page, margins, symbols and how to note less will all feature in the busy 2 day program.
This workshop is aimed at professional interpreters who can, or have at some stage already been able to do consecutive but are now a little rusty or looking to improve.

Date: 6th Jan 14:00-18:30 , 7th Jan 09:00-17:30
