What:
The use of process time has a direct impact on the effectiveness of equivalence of an interpretation. We will provide you with an overview of the models of interpreting developed by the leaders in the field. Participants will discover how they are currently using process time. Then we will lead you through a series of activities to increase working memory and to practice using "whole thought" processing.
