    Oral interpretation involves decoding and encoding meaning between languages in spoken or signed communication. There are different types of oral interpretation defined by directionality, mode, language modality, and setting. Modes include consecutive interpretation where the interpreter translates after sentences or speeches, and simultaneous interpretation where translation is done in real time. Settings range from community to conference to remote interpretation. The main difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpretation is that simultaneous interpreting is done in real time while consecutive interpreting involves pausing for translation between sentences.

    What is oral interpretation

    Language Interpretation is decoding-coding of


    intended meaning in oral or sign- language
    communication between users of different
    languages. These can be done in following
    ways:
    Types of Oral Interpretation
    • The types are defined according to the 4
    criteria:
    • 1 Directionality.
    • 2. Mode.
    • 3. Language Modality.
    • 4. Setting.
    Directionality
    • Relay interpreting: between 2 languages
    via a third language.
    • Retour interpreting: working from your
    mother tongue into a foreign language.
    • Bilateral interpreting or liasion
    interpreting: an interpreter accompanies a
    person or delegation on a tour, on a visit
    and relays what is spoken to one, between
    two or among many people.
    Modes of Interpreting
    • 1. Consecutive - The interpreter allows the
    speaker of source text to complete his
    sentence, message or the entire speech
    post which he renders the message in the
    target language. The art of quick and
    correct note-making is essential to this
    style of interpretation. This type is most
    useful in court, job- interviews, business
    presentations and small group- meetings.
    Modes of Interpreting
    • Simultaneous - this requires the interpreter
    to listen to speaker in source language
    and quickly render the message to another
    speaker of target language. This type of
    interpretation requires close proximity
    between speaker and interpreter and
    hence it is most widely used in
    conferences.
    Modes of interpreting
    • Whispered interpreting or chuchotage, is a
    form of simultaneous interpreting where
    the interpreter whispers what the speaker
    is saying to the client in their mother
    tongue.
    Modes of interpreting
    • Sight Interpretation is a hybrid between
    written translation and interpreting (i.e.,
    spoken translation). In this mode, a
    translator translates an oral ST with a
    written ST present into an oral or signed
    TT in real time
    Language Modality
    • Spoken language interpreting
    • Signed language interpreting
    Settings
    • Community Interpreting Community (or public
    service) interpreting is a relatively recent coinage (end of
    20th century) referring to an interlinguistic and
    intercultural communication that serves the community
    and takes place in and for the public services, be it legal
    (police, asylum, prisons), medical or educational
    • Conference, court, media, medicine, etc.
    • Remote - remote interpreting is a type of language
    interpreting which facilitates communication between
    speakers of different languages who also happen to
    be in different locations.
    The Difference Between
    Simultaneous and Consecutive
    Interpreting
    • 1. The consecutive interpreter translates
    the speaker’s words every sentence or
    two, with the speaker pausing to allow
    them sufficient time to do so. The
    simultaneous interpreter, meanwhile,
    delivers the speaker’s words in real time.
    • Simultaneous interpreting is the kind of
    interpreting that you see in action at large,
    multilingual events, where interpreters sit in
    soundproof booths and translate the speaker’s
    words as he delivers them. It requires specialist
    audio and technical equipment, as well as the
    booths themselves. It also usually requires
    interpreters to work in pairs, due to the mental
    strain of simultaneously listening to one
    language while speaking in another.
    • The consecutive interpreter, meanwhile,
    tends to work alone and has no need for
    any specialist equipment. A notepad and
    pencil is about as technical as their
    requirements get.
    Skills

    • A consecutive interpreter needs to have a wide range of


    skills in order to perform their role successfully. These
    are the minimum skills that the individual requires:
    • • Fluency in two languages
    • • Active listening skills
    • • Fast-paced analytical abilities
    • • Superb short-term memory
    • • Shorthand or other structured form of note-taking
    • • Clear diction
    • • Cultural awareness
