Course Description

In this workshop, we will examine simultaneous interpreting from the perspective of the court and conference settings. We will discuss similarities and differences between the two methods, especially when it comes to delivery of the message, and will then implement conference interpreting techniques while using court interpreting materials for rigorous, hands-on exercises that will help give you the tools to render more professional and confident simultaneous interpretations.
