This is a series of two workshops dedicated to note taking for consecutive interpreting in the context of public services.
Title for workshop 1: Note-taking for consecutive interpreting: active listening and memorising
In this workshop, we will explore how active listening and concentration enhance the way we memorise information for the purpose of consecutive interpreting, and more specifically in the context of public service interpreting.
Title for workshop 2: Note-taking for consecutive interpreting: what to note down and how.
This second workshop dedicated to note-taking for consecutive interpreting follows the first that explored how active listening enhances memorising. During this second session, we will move away from the words and focus on the idea and its structure. We will then focus on what to write down, and how to reformulate.
