Monday, 27 May 2024
1.00 - 2.00 pm
Online via Zoom

This webinar is an introduction to the theory behind note-taking for interpreters and is aimed at consecutive and liaison interpreters wishing to improve their note-taking skills.

You will learn about extracting ideas and what to note. Karoline will share tips for improving your short-term memory and introduce the creation of meaningful abbreviations and symbols. She will also show how to best structure notes on a pad.

Acquiring the knowledge of abbreviations and symbols will enable you to build your own inventory of symbols. 

This is a theoretical webinar without a practical component. It presents interpreters with the foundations and universal principles of note-taking and is not language-specific. The presentation will be about 45 min long and will be followed by 15 min for Q&A. 

To participate you must register by 11.59 pm on Thursday, 23 May. A link to the meeting will be emailed on Friday, 24 May. If you don’t receive it, please check your spam folder before contacting us at info@nzsti.org.
