Consecutive Interpreting Coursebook

This coursebook will be useful for teachers and students of consecutive interpreting, and also for language students who would like to use consecutive interpreting practice to develop their linguistic skills, especially short-term memory, at sight translation skills and note-taking techniques, with the possibility of using consecutive interpreting as a complementary technique in their language learning process. This work contains three sections. The first focuses on the basic principles of interpreting, with special attention to the consecutive mode, the second hinges on the more technical aspects of note-taking and the third section includes a series of text samples which can be used as oral drills. This coursebook will help students to develop their translation skills by introducing them to the area of interpretative sciences, which are exponentially developing, as a consequence of the globalizing trends of our age.
