Content

This teaching unit builds on the 'Techniques d'interprétation consécutive' unit. It focuses on intensive practical training, using longer speeches and covering more complex topics. Formative assessment is continuous and carried out by peers and teachers alike.  The teachers are trained professionals with extensive experience in consecutive interpreting.

The note-taking skills are continually improved and the notes are completely and thoroughly reviewed on an ad hoc basis, bearing in mind that notes cannot replace the role of memory.

Thanks to the associated trainers' varied profiles (they are professional interpreters in various fields), students benefit from a multifaceted and multidisciplinary approach to the study of consecutive interpreting.
