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.
