Dear interpreters,

This mini-course will approach extralinguistic aspects that can either help or harm your work as an interpreter, be it in consecutive or simultaneous interpreting. What is the underlying message you are conveying to your audience? What messages are conveyed by your gestures and voice intonation? What is the importance of vocal and body clues in interpretation? Participants will have a hands-on experience working in several aspects of the speech, body positioning, gestures, posture, vocal projection, intonation, and breathing.
