Let's talk about Weblearn!

In small groups, I will give you some time to browse through Weblearn so you find your way through resources

Let's see... what makes a good interpreter?

ddhayer — 2020-10-12 17:53:56 UTC

From the pre-master's course and your session with Ewa yesterday, what are the qualities an interpreter should have?
Let's see on mentimeter:
Access code: 30 36 47 1

What is the difference between an interpreter working in the public service domain and in conference settings?

ddhayer — 2020-10-12 17:59:06 UTC

What about the homework then? Link to your portfolio of practice

ddhayer — 2020-10-12 18:16:37 UTC

This is the link to your reflective portfolio of practice for the whole module.
- Click on it.
- Create a folder with your name. All your work will be located in this folder for the duration of the module.
- Inside your names folder, create a folder called week 2.
- Post your homework in the folder of the week to come.
- When you click on the shared folder, you will see a dedicated place to instructions for each week. This is how you will remember what to do.
- Last year, students loved their portfolio! I hope you will too!

Remembering our facts about China

ddhayer — 2020-10-14 08:47:11 UTC

Let's try to remember everything we learnt about China yesterday!

- Looking at the tiles on Zoom, let's try to build a speech on China based on the presentation yesterday.

- The speech needs to flow.
How will you connect ideas?
You need to listen to what the student before you said and anticipate how you are going to connect your idea to his/hers.

- Don't go too fast to give yourself a chance to think and speak at the same time.

What helped our memory? What was a hindrance?

ddhayer — 2020-10-14 08:50:52 UTC

In the short term?
In the longer term

This morning we will use the PPT from Weblearn

ddhayer — 2020-10-19 14:14:37 UTC

A series of exercises will come together with some new information regarding the way our memory works.

Homework -portfolio of practice

ddhayer — 2020-10-19 14:25:53 UTC

You will find the instructions for week 3 in your usual portfolio of practice. Add a folder for week 3 and insert your work there.

Remember your portfolio of practice is a location where you can upload anything that relates to your practice. It includes the homework but you can add anything else that relates to your practice.

How do we reflect on our interpreting performance?

ddhayer — 2020-10-19 14:53:29 UTC

What did we include?
What could we have included?
What did we learn?
What could we have learnt?
How do we then move to the next step?
What is my next individual objective?

What is a SMART objective?

ddhayer — 2020-10-19 14:54:50 UTC

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
in a Timely manner

How do I integrate SMART objectives to my weekly practice?

Getting my time organised

ddhayer — 2020-10-19 14:57:29 UTC

How do I do that?
Why does it matter?

Portfolio of practice: let's reflect

ddhayer — 2020-10-19 17:38:23 UTC

If I had to prepare a speech again:

-what would I keep that I did well?
- what would I change to improve?

If i had to interpret my speech again:

-what would I keep that I did well?
- what would I change to improve?

Take some time to write down what you think....

Time management:

ddhayer — 2020-10-26 19:10:33 UTC

Did you manage to make a speech, record it and upload it in one hour?

How long did it take you?

Were you more efficient?

How?

ddhayer — 2020-10-28 10:02:54 UTC

Let's practise!

ddhayer — 2020-10-28 10:13:35 UTC

This is a long speech. But it is very well structured and ideal to pick up ideas and divide them.

Jean Francois Rozan... and we go on. Let's talk diagonally!

ddhayer — 2020-11-02 17:22:39 UTC

Let's warm up! This is a speech on speech making

ddhayer — 2020-11-02 18:38:11 UTC

We are going to listen to this speech and use our memory (with 5 words) only.

Then, we are going to take notes.

And then we are going to take notes and separate key ideas.

Working in teams for our portfolio of practice: how did we benefit?

ddhayer — 2020-11-30 11:31:18 UTC

Conference interpreters work in teams. Often, they work with colleagues they don't know very well.
What kind of good practice did you experience when working with our colleague this week?
What will you apply when working with colleagues during an interpreting assignment?

Do we have to be an actor?

ddhayer — 2020-11-30 12:00:29 UTC

What does Matthew Perret tell us? He is an actor and an interpreter.

Let's call an expert interpreter?

ddhayer — 2020-11-30 12:02:43 UTC

Non verbal communication is key to sound credible

You have just arrived to your hotel to see that many things are going wrong. You want to speak to the manager.
As the headmaster of this school, you need to remind a student that access to the staff room is strictly forbidden.
Your friend needs to understand that he/she should stop smoking as it is a health hazard.
You have been working hard this year but your employer never gave you a pay rise; you have asked to see him to get some explanation.

Listen to the speech and split the speech in 2. This is quite good for consecutive interpreting.
