‘Analysis’ is often cited as one of the most important skills in consecutive interpreting but it’s one that is less often practised in isolation. [Read more…]
MIC LA LAGUNA 2015
Pues así, sin darnos cuenta, había llegado la semana de la visita a Bruselas. La semana que todos (yo desde luego sí) imaginábamos mientras enviábamos nuestros documentos de inscripción para la prueba de acceso al MIC. Ya estábamos allí, con nuestros trajes y nuestras libretas. [Read more…]
CONSEC DEMO EN-FR: Plaisir du soleil?
Hi Felix.
First of all, congratulations for accepting to take part in this public exercise. This is certainly good practice for stress management and an excellent preparation for exams or tests !
Then a few comments about the speech. It is relatively long (over 6 minutes) and relatively easy : the speaker – who is a native- is clear; the structure of her speech is pretty straight forward and the pace not too fast (although not as slow as you would think just listening to her..)
Why consecutive learning is important?
“Although I’m retired from the Commission now I still do a bit of training now and again and I sometimes get asked why students of conference interpreting on university interpretation courses spend so much of their time learning how to do consecutive interpreting when practically all the work they’ll do later as a conference interpreter- assuming they get that far- will consist of simultaneous interpreting..

In early 1997 the European Commission’s Joint Interpreting and Conference Service (SCIC) and DGXXII approached the Thematic Network Project in the Area of Languages (SOCRATES-ERASMUS Programme) about the possibility of launching a European pilot project for the joint development of a university programme at advanced level (Masters type) in Conference Interpreting to remedy the shortage of highly qualified conference interpreters, particularly with language combinations which include less widely used and less taught languages.

RETOUR DEMO DE EN: Die Bahnstadt

“Notetaking is a very individual technique. I think it is strongly related to the way the individual interpreter processes information. Most interpreters note down lots of facts, numbers etc. This approach bears the risk of missing the links and coming up with a lot of information which, however, may then be presented in an incoherent way. Also, their active listening may suffer, as they concentrate too much on the notetaking.
MIC 2014: Visita a la Comisión Europea y Tribunal de Justicia de la UE
As part of the Masters in Conference Interpreting (MIC) at the Universidad de La Laguna, we visited some European Union institutions in Brussels and Luxembourg this May. Our organizer Lourdes has asked me to write a blog post on the experience:
Recién llegada a una familia… en sus bodas de plata
Sin cambiar de estado civil, ni pasar por el paritorio, hace cuatro meses que amplié mi familia. El 13 de febrero me abrió los ojos a esta realidad que ocurrió a finales de septiembre, cuando me mudé a La Laguna para cursar el Máster de Interpretación de Conferencias. [Read more…]
