The technique of note-taking: tips and tricks Part 2

This is a sequel to the webinar on "The technique of note-taking: tips and tricks" which introduced some of the most general and basic aspects of the technique of note-taking. In this second part, more attention will be paid to practical solutions to be applied by interpreters who would like to start using notes or who have been using notes but would like to find out about more effective ways of note-taking.

As in the first part, the sequel will be tackled from a purely pragmatic aspect. The objective is again to foster the skill and the speed to take notes during a speech to be interpreted consecutively. However, more importantly, the second part will also be focused on some elementary steps so as to help new-comers to this skill to start using notes.

1. Interpreters who want to learn more about note-taking techniques;
2. Freelancers starting in the interpreting industry;
3. Experienced freelancers who want to expand their clients database.

1. To facilitate the process of consecutive interpreting;
2. To establish a routine in the process of linking a word, phrase, sentence or context to a particular meaning and representation;
3. To practise the reconstruction of target language and discourse based on notes.

Candidates are kindly advised to have a pen and a notepad ready for the practical workshop part of the course.

The agenda of the course will be as follows:

1. First workshop session: Examples & practice (25 min)
