Interpreters listen to meaning instead of words, they listen for both content and attitude, and they listen with ears, eyes, heart.
To improve the efficiency of active listening, interpreters are supposed to sit or stand comfortably upright; observe the speaker’s body language; and try to visualize the words.

II. Points to Remember 5 m
53
Business Interpreting Lesson Plan Unit 1
An interpreter needs an extraordinary memory.
The more “meaningful” the information, the shorter it takes for it to be committed to memory and the easier it is to remember.
The studies of human memory usually make a distinction between short-term and long-term memory.
The process of memory involves three stages: encoding information, storing information, and retrieving information.
