Secrets of simultaneous interpreting split attention
Split attention in simultaneous interpreting is the key skill and takes a year to master. But it's not easy!
Is your Interpreter Qualified?
The UK interpreting industry is largely unregulated, though two institutes have codes of conduct that membership is not required to follow. Freelance interpreters work without compulsory qualifications, so clients should check credentials before hiring. While bilingualism is common for interpreters, specialist skills like split attention, dealing with unknown words, and simultaneous versus consecutive interpreting modes require mastery beyond language skills alone. Formal qualifications include interpreting degrees and EU accreditation, but skills can vary widely even among graduates, with only top students considered for EU work. Proper training and experience are needed before attempting difficult EU certification tests.

This document outlines a proposal for an English language course for adult native Spanish speakers over age 50. The course aims to help students learn conversational English by leveraging their background in Spanish. It would incorporate cognates, grammar syntax from Spanish, and new English vocabulary. The 15-lesson course would be delivered via CD and online resources. Lessons focus on vocabulary for common contexts, cognates, and idioms, with assessments after each module.
Method of teaching ema
The grammar-translation method focuses on learning grammar rules and their direct application to translation exercises between the target language and students' native language. Vocabulary is taught through bilingual word lists and direct translation. Students learn rules deductively and practice by translating isolated sentences. There is little focus on speaking, listening, or communication in the target language. Advanced students may translate whole texts, and assessment focuses on translating literary passages or texts.

The document discusses the nature of learner language and error analysis. It explains that there are good reasons to focus on errors that learners make, as it is useful for teachers and can help learners learn. There are different types of errors, including omissions, misinformation, and misordering. Errors can be systematically classified and described. Not all errors are universal, as some may be specific to a learner's native language. The purpose of error analysis is to help learners learn the language. It evaluates different types of errors and explores developmental patterns and variability in learner language.
The Grammar – Translation Method
The grammar-translation method focuses on learning grammar rules and applying them through translation exercises between the target language and the student's native language. Vocabulary is taught through direct translation of word lists. Classes are typically conducted in the student's native language. Little attention is paid to speaking or listening skills. The goal is to develop reading skills through translation, not communication.

The nature of learner language (rod ellis
This document discusses errors in learner language and their analysis. It describes how errors can be classified into grammatical categories or by how they differ from the target language. Errors are systematic and predictable, and some are universal across learners, while others are specific to learners with the same native language. Variability in learner language is also systematic, influenced by linguistic and situational contexts. The stages of second language acquisition include a silent period and progression through interim stages before mastery of a target structure. Research seeks to understand the systematic nature of errors and variability in learner language.

Proficiency tests measure a learner's overall language ability and can be compared to other types of language assessments. Proficiency tests are commonly used as end goals for language learning but are less frequent in classroom settings, where they can narrow student focus only to test preparation. Proficiency tests generally consist of standardized multiple choice sections covering grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, and writing. Examples of proficiency tests include the IELTS and TOEFL.

Additionally, they can write compositions and simple summaries related to work and/or school experiences. They can narrate and describe in different time frames when writing about everyday events and situations. These narrations and descriptions are often but not always of paragraph length, and they typically contain some evidence of breakdown in one or more features of the Advanced level. For example, these writers may be inconsistent in the use of appropriate major time markers, resulting in a loss of clarity. The vocabulary, grammar and style of Intermediate High writers essentially correspond to those of the spoken language. Intermediate High writing, even with numerous and perhaps significant errors, is generally comprehensible to natives not used to the writing of non-natives, but there are likely to be gaps in comprehension.
