Long Consecutive Interpreting Clause Samples

Long Consecutive Interpreting. This type of interpreting is identical to the technique described in the section on “consecutive interpreting”, however there is a significant difference in that the interpreter uses a special note-taking technique to take down the speech or lecture, which can be as long as 4-5 minutes, and then uses the notes to render the speech into the target language. This technique requires a high level of expertise and professional experience. It is recommended that interpreters with qualifications in long consecutive interpreting are used for such assignments. Typical cases: diplomatic engagements and political events, press conferences, welcome speeches etc.
