Description:

This 20-hour intensive, hands-on course provides participants an opportunity to experience the challenge and excitement of simultaneous interpretation in a controlled setting, with extensive feedback from the instructor and effective peer review. The workshop uses an innovative approach of practice followed by discussion and selfassessment, and has been successfully conducted in Brazil for over eight years.
