Practice Makes Perfect: Developing an
 Interpreting Practice Strategy to Achieve SuccessWhether you are preparing for an exam or simply want to keep your skills up, a defined strategy for practice sessions
 is the key to productive interpreting practice. Even if you work as a full-time interpreter, there is nothing like the deep
 reflection and analysis of your performance in a practice session to help you hone your craft. A solid interpreting skill
 improvement strategy includes honest self-assessment and setting specific goals for every practice session that go
 beyond “take good notes,” “master all technical vocabulary,” or “interpret everything perfectly.” This session will cover
 goal-setting, resources for practice material, honing your language and vocabulary skills in your downtime, giving and
 receiving feedback, and tips for solo and group practice. This webinar is suitable for experienced interpreters looking to get unstuck and achieve
 a long-desired goal of passing a specific exam, beginners who feel overwhelmed with the daunting task of learning
 this craft, and anyone in between!About the presenterJohanna Parker holds an M.A. in Translation and Interpretation (Spanish English) from the Middlebury Institute of
