  3. Language Classification: A Language • “A Language:The interpreter's mother tongue (or another language strictly equivalent to a mother tongue), into which s/he interprets from all other working languages, generally in the two modes of interpretation, simultaneous and consecutive”. (http://www.aiic.net/ViewPage.cfm?page_id=1403#lang, last accessed 12.09.2007)

  4. Language Classification: B Language • “B Language:A language into which the interpreter works from one or more of her/his other languages and which, although not a mother tongue, is a language of which s/he has perfect command. Some interpreters work into B languages in only one of the two modes of interpretation”. (http://www.aiic.net/ViewPage.cfm?page_id=1403#lang, last accessed 12.09.2007)

  5. Language Classification: C Language • “C Language: Passive languages are those languages of which the interpreter has complete understanding and from which s/he interprets. These are what interpreters call their C languages, according to AIIC classification”. (http://www.aiic.net/ViewPage.cfm?page_id=1403#lang, last accessed 12.09.2007)

  6. Consecutive Interpreting • “the interpreter sits at the table with the delegates or on the platform next to the speaker and interprets the speech into the required language once the speaker has finished speaking. The interpreter takes notes to give an accurate rendering of the speech which may be delivered in sections, up to approximately 15 minutes” (http://www.aiic.net, last accessed 12.09.2007). • “The interpreter listens to a speech segment for a few minutes or so, takes notes, and then delivers the whole segment in the target language; then the speaker resumes for a few minutes, the interpreter delivers the next segment, and the process continues until the end of the speech” (Gile 2000: 41).

  7. Further Reading • Kurz, Ingrid & Margaret Bowen (1999), Interpreting 4(1), Special Issue on the History of Interpreting.

  8. Phases of Consecutive Interpreting Two Phase Model (Gile 1997) • Reception Phase • Reformulation Phase

  9. Reception Phase CI (Reception)= L+M+N+C CI=Consecutive Interpreting, L=listening and analysis, M=short-term memory,N=Notetaking, C=Coordination (Gile 1997:167)

  10. Reformulation Phase CI (Ref.) = Rem + Read + P CI=Consecutive Interpreting, Rem=recall from memory and notes, Read= Reading of notes, P=Production (Gile 1997:168)

  11. Student Skills • Listening & Analysis • Identification of hierarchy and structure • Memory • Extended short-term memory • Strategic use of long-term memory • Note-taking skills • Production • Presentation and Public Speaking Skills • Intonation • Enunciation
