Description

The Oral Portion of the Consortium Interpreter Exam for the State Courts can be tricky and challenging if you are not well prepared for it. If you have been preparing to become a competent Court Interpreter, this practice-intensive workshop will certainly give you the tools to have the upper-hand for the next round of testing this Summer.

This workshop will include a brief practice-based review of the key strategies presented in our May workshop (an opportunity for past attendees to share with the class how well they have been practicing!), before fully focusing on the application of said strategies through several additional practice exercises and mock testing-like activities.

The trick is to know “what & how” to study. Some key areas addressed in these workshops are:

  • An intensive focus on texts, proceedings, and situations you will likely encounter on the test.
  • The identification of scoring units to substantially increase your scores on each component.
  • Tips on how to improve the three modes of interpretation that you will encounter in this test: sight translation, consecutive interpreting, and simultaneous interpreting.
  • Avoiding common pitfalls that can hinder your performance.
  • Having the vocabulary arsenal: idioms, proverbs, expletives, false cognates, physical descriptions, automobile terms, weapons, drugs, among other relevant terms, that are commonly used in Interpreting standardized testing.

About the Trainer:

Edgar Hidalgo is a California State Certified Legal and Medical Interpreter who serves as a legal interpreter and translator at the San Bernardino Superior Court since October 2006. He is the coordinator of the Spanish Judicial Interpreting Program at California State University, Fullerton, where he teaches Simultaneous Interpreting, Consecutive Interpreting, Advanced Judicial Interpreting, Introduction to Court Interpreting, and Oral Exam Preparation Courses since August of 2008. He is also an instructor of Legal Interpretation at the University of California Riverside. He specializes in preparing students for California Court Interpreter certifications.

Mr. Hidalgo holds an MA degree in Spanish Literature & Linguistics from Cal State University Fullerton, a Bachelor's degree in Translation & Interpretation Studies and a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish from Cal State University, Long Beach. He also studied Legal Interpreting at the Southern California School of Interpretation.

He worked several years as a staff interpreter both at Long Beach Memorial Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Orange County and in the private sector, as a freelance medical and legal interpreter, before he was hired as a full-time staff interpreter for the courts. Mr. Hidalgo is an active member of interpreter organizations such as NAJIT (National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators) and CFI (California Federation of Interpreters). His works have been presented in national interpreting conferences, where hehas conducted training for certified interpreters. His educational material for interpreter training will be published in the near future.
