Conference Interpreting: A Student’s Practice Book brings together a comprehensive compilation of tried and tested practical exercises which hone the sub-skills that make up successful conference interpreting.
Unique in its exclusively practical focus, this book serves as a reference for students and teachers seeking to solve specific interpreting-related difficulties. By breaking down the necessary skills and linking these to the most relevant and effective exercises, students can target their areas of weakness and work more efficiently towards greater interpreting competence. This second edition includes a comprehensive update of the text, with new exercises and revised example speeches throughout, as well as three entirely new chapters on Activation, Voice and Early Simultaneous Exercises.
Split into four Parts, this book includes a detailed introduction offering general principles for effective practice drawn from the author’s own extensive experience as an interpreter and interpreter-trainer. The second ‘language’ section covers language enhancement at this very high level, an area that standard language courses and textbooks are unable to deal with. The last two sections cover the key sub-skills needed to effectively handle the two components of conference interpreting: simultaneous and consecutive interpreting.
This book is not language-specific and, as such, is an essential resource for all interpreting students, regardless of their language combination.
