Simultaneous interpreting: working with text
(Paris, 21 October)

workshop in Paris 21 October

Three identical one-day workshops will be held over the course of the autumn. Please register for only one workshop. This is the registration page for the workshop in Paris.

Course description

One of the biggest processing challenges for professional conference interpreters is simultaneous interpreting with text, a practice whereby interpreters receive manuscripts of statements to be read out, arguably increasing the complexity of the task. Targeted text-preparation strategies hold the potential of offsetting some of the additional load associated with this interpreting modality.

The objective of this one-day workshop, therefore, is to provide practicing professionals with an understanding of the processes involved in simultaneous interpreting with text and to engage them in a set of systematic and targeted activities to hone text-preparation strategies. Importantly, this workshop does not comprise real-time simultaneous interpreting practice. Instead, participants will be expected to actively participate using prepared materials.
