AIIC Training of Trainers Seminar

January 30 & 31, 2010, Rome, Italy

This seminar will look at how the component skills that go to make up consecutive interpreting can be isolated and practised in isolation before being re-combined in the complex activity that is consecutive interpreting. The seminar will also discuss the order in which these skills might be tackled and the building of part of a syllabus. The seminar, through the exercises proposed as part of the above, will also look at techniques for increasing the efficiency of limited classroom hours and increasing motivation in the classroom. Andrew Gillies teaches at ISIT in Paris and is Coordinator of AIIC's Training Committee. He is author of Note-taking for Consecutive Interpreting and has translated J-F. Rozan's La Prise de Notes dans l'interpretation consecutive into English. Participants receive a Certificate of Attendance from AIIC for each individual seminar attended.
