Workshop Description:

There is interpreting and then there is being an interpreter. The day to day life of an interpreter is filled with little negotiations and big decisions that require skills they don’t have time to teach in ITPs. 

Educational Objectives:

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: 

  • Describe the proper questions to ask in preparation for an interpreting Appointment;
  • Demonstrate how to use preexisting knowledge and context to decode other people’s expectations of an interpreter;
  • Organize their interpretation to say more with less movement;
  • Participate in practical skill building exercises regarding micro negotiations; and,
  • Create a study plan for knowledge and skill building moving forward
