Consecutive Interpreting: Techniques & Skills Webinar

The National Center for Interpretation at the University of Arizona.

Consecutive interpretation–a crucial skill in both court and medical settings–requires mastery of techniques that help maximize accuracy.  This webinar will introduce the techniques and skills used in consecutive interpreting, including chunking, visualization, notetaking, and situational control, among others. Participants will have the opportunity to practice these skills during the webinar. This language neutral webinar is taught entirely in English and is open to interpreters in all languages.

The objectives of this workshop are 1) to introduce you to the consecutive mode of interpretation, 2) to review strategies for successfully interpreting in this mode and 3) to give you an opportunity for some hands-on practice using these strategies.
