Friday Program Topic Information:
"Keeping Up with a Caffeinated Cheetah: Coping with Fast Speakers in Simultaneous Interpretation", presented by Johanna Parker and Maria Victoria Sormani.
The RN who speeds through a patient education session without looking up from her notes. The medical student who is so nervous and excited that they barely take a breath. Sound familiar? While consecutive interpretation is the most common modality of interpretation in health care, there are instances where simultaneous interpretation is required. Keeping up with fast speakers is one of the most common challenges in this modality. In this session, we will analyze the challenges of simultaneously interpreting for different types of fast speakers. We will identify and practice strategies to cope with these types of speakers and present a polished and clear rendition to our listeners.
Participants will:
- Analyze the challenges of simultaneously interpreting for fast speakers.
- Identify strategies to cope with simultaneous interpretation of fast speakers.
- Implement these strategies in focused practice exercises.
*Lodging information: Host hotel is the UNC Charlotte Marriott, located on the University campus. A block of rooms is reserved at the conference rate of $179/night. Once the block is sold out, you may opt to book at the regular rate or choose other nearby accommodations.
