Interpreting at the Speed of Court: Techniques for Keeping Up with Fast Speakers


Come join us for a continuation of “Interpreting for Fast Speakers in Court” with James Plunkett! Participants will learn to aim at interpreting speech made at a fast rate using the simultaneous mode. Participants will analyze the characteristics of the discourse used in court proceedings, such as opening statements. Participants will try their hand at interpreting at rates over 180 words per minute. They will explore strategies and techniques to avoid having to interrupt speakers engaged in critical arguments in court proceedings.
