This seminar is conducted primarily in spoken English, without interpretation. 

It is open to anyone comfortable learning and holding discussion in spoken English. It is designed for both working and student interpreters (hearing, Coda). There are no prerequisites for this program.

About this seminar

Many interpreters experience stress around forgetting portions of the Source message when interpreting. This fear of forgetting creates additional load to the already complex task of interpreting. This seminar will help interpreters understand the limits of short-term memory and provide practice in accessing working memory, which has greater capacity.  We will examine strategies for accessing working memory and identify factors that complicate this phase of the interpreting process.
