Description:
Interpreter trainers are dedicated to teaching their students the skills they will need in order to be successful in their professional role. For many interpreters, these skills include test-taking skills. Both aspiring and long-time interpreters are put to the test when they are required to take an exam administered by a potential employer, sit for an interpreter certification exam, or complete a final exam in a training program. In addition to the skills needed to interpret well, there is a growing need for interpreters to also have strong test-taking skills so that they can effectively demonstrate the interpreting knowledge and skills.
How do trainers prepare interpreters to take computer-based certification exams? How do trainers know where to focus their attention?
This presentation addresses these questions and provides an overview of the presenter's experience preparing interpreters for written and oral certification exams for spoken language interpreters.
Learning Objectives:
- Distinguish the differences between skills for interpreting practice and skills for test taking
- Define elements and areas of focus of test prep sessions
- Identify resources for test prep session
