The Interpreted Interview - INT - LN Language Neutral Workshop (English)
Independent of the setting, interviews share a common goal: the elicitation and collection of information; and a common structure: a conversation based on a question-answer exchange, an interview. With this in mind, the workshop will focus on three major concepts pertaining to an interview: preparation, protocol, and attention. The workshop will present and discuss these concepts from the interviewer, interviewee and the interpreter’s perspective so as to impart a broad context in which interpreter may perform competently. Practice and analysis will include an assortment of material of varied degrees of difficulty. Please follow established procedures with your state's AOC to obtain proper CEU credit.
