Description

This workshop suits practitioners and students preparing for the NAATI Certified Interpreter Simultaneous Monologue Interpreting tasks, or seeking to improve their Simultaneous Interpreting skills. Including enrolment in the Introduction to Chuchotage course, this workshop and focuses on Simultaneous Interpreting practice. Participants will practise chuchotage and develop strategies for resolving SI challenges through practical interpreting exercises in community settings. Although chuchotage is tested at the Certified Interpreter level and above, it is a necessary technique in community settings as in many situations whispered SI allows the interpreter to achieve the required accuracy level (Gonzalez & Lai, 2022). Therefore, interpreters working at all levels of certification need to be able to switch to chuchotage when required.

Description

Under the current NAATI Certification system, professional interpreters are required to demonstrate knowledge and skills in the use of the simultaneous (chuchotage) mode. This course aims to provide interpreters with an understanding of what chuchotage is as well as when and how this essential interpreting mode is applied in community settings. Learners are also provided an opportunity to practise basic simultaneous interpreting techniques through practical exercises.

Part 1 of the course aims to provide interpreters with an understanding of when and how to apply this essential mode in medical and legal interpreting settings.

Part 2 of the course focuses on strategies for resolving simultaneous interpreting challenges. It also provides participants with an opportunity to practice and polish this essential interpreting mode through practical interpreting exercises in legal and medical contexts.
