This guide includes invaluable material on freelancing and professional development. Tiselius integrates remote interpreting and computer aided interpreting throughout the book. The volume also includes a range of exercises from self-assessment, speech-writing and note-taking to consecutive and simultaneous. Theoretical concepts are illustrated with anecdotes from Elisabet Tiselius’ personal experience, taking readers behind the scenes of conference interpreter education, and equipping them with the tools to understand how to practice and why different exercises are necessary.
With further reading and related video resources here: https://routledgetranslationstudiesportal.com/, this is the essential guide to understanding the practice and theory of conference interpreting for all courses in interpreting and interpreter training.
