Abstract

This book offers some guidelines for effective practice and a compilation ofpractice exercises drawn from conference interpreting literature and teachers. Assuch it is meant as a resource for students and trainers looking for practice ideas.Though the book is directed primarily at students and teachers of conferenceinterpreting, it should also have much to offer those training for other types ofinterpreting — court, community, sign language.

There are a number of simple ideas underpinning this book. First is thatmentioned above, that to learn to carry out a skill we must practise, repeatedly.Repeated practice of a skill allows us to internalize it, that is to say, arrive ata place where some part of what we are doing becomes automatic and we cancomplete the skill without giving it our full attention. This is particularly importantin interpreting, because the mental capacity freed up in this way will not go towaste. It will be put towards the other skills that go to make up interpreting.
