Part 1: Memory Retention and Attentive Listening
Successful interpreting begins with strong memory and active listening skills. In this first session of our two-part series, we focus on techniques to enhance short-term and working memory, improve concentration, and develop attentive listening strategies crucial for accurate interpretation. Participants will explore cognitive exercises, chunking techniques, and visualization methods to retain and recall information more effectively. Through structured notes and practical exercises, interpreters will learn how to organize key details mentally before writing them down, strengthening their ability to process and reproduce messages with accuracy and confidence.
