This workshop is designed to help interpreters working into English “B” to develop repertoire, strategies, and reactions through interpreting and public speaking exercises. It will cover:
• English enhancement, with a focus on register and culturally sensitive language.
• Specific “retour” skills, such as analysis of mother tongue as a passive language, elaboration, and simplification for ease of comprehension, strategic use of intonation, “plan B” prioritisation, and coping strategies to avoid paralysing perfectionism.
• A refresher of core interpreting skills, starting with analysis and deverbalisation, to avoid auto-pilot and lexical and syntactic
contamination.
Trainer: Matthew Perret interprets for the European Parliament; writes and performs comedy and theater; and trains conference
