Note-taking for consecutive interpreting is an important skill for interpreters, regardless of the setting they work in.  Teaching note-taking is also an important skill for interpreter trainers. In this webinar we will explore theoretical and practical aspects of teaching and learning note-taking for consecutive, with a focus on dialogue interpreting settings. We’ll discuss how note-taking fits into the dialogue interpreter’s toolbox; ways in which consecutive note-taking differs from other kinds of note-taking; and approaches and strategies for effective note-taking. We will also discuss planning and structuring teaching and learning of note-taking within training courses.

Note: The presentation will include some examples of practical exercises for developing note-taking skill, but the content and material is intended for interpreter trainers.

Learning Objectives:

•    Discuss the place of note-taking for consecutive in the dialogue interpreter’s toolkit
•    Discuss approaches and strategies for effective note-taking for consecutive
•    Explore theoretical and practical aspects of teaching note-taking for consecutive in dialogue settings
