    INTERPRETING MODALITIES

    • Short consecutive (dialogue) interpreting – interpreting in both directions after each speaker pauses.
    • Sight translation – oral translation of short written texts (e.g., consent and registration forms, instructions, school information, etc.
    • Simultaneous interpreting – a mode in which the speaker makes a speech, while the interpreter reformulates the language his audience understands at the same time.
