Consecutive Interpreting: A Short Course provides a step-by-step guide to consecutive interpreting. This user-friendly coursebook tackles key skills such as presentation, analysis, note-taking and reformulation, as well as advanced market-related skills such as preparation for assignments, protocol and practical tips for working interpreters. Each chapter provides examples of the skill, as well as a variety of exercises to learn the skill both in isolation and then in combination with other skills.

Including model answers, a glossary of terms and further reading suggestions, this is the essential coursebook for all students of consecutive interpreting as well as for interpreter-trainers looking for innovative ways of teaching consecutive interpreting.

"In this book, Andrew Gillies surveys the knowledge and wisdom of renowned interpreter trainers spanning decades and myriad publications. He then deftly distills it into a single volume on consecutive interpreting. It is straightforward and well organized and will be an excellent reference for teachers and students alike."

Barry Slaughter Olsen, Middlebury Institute of International Studies, USA

"Andrew Gillies' first book on note-taking was my first encounter with a clear, logical and effective method to teach consecutive! This new publication brings a much more complete view of consecutive plus adds lots of new ideas which will surely make the process even smoother for both trainers and students."

Raquel Schaitza, AIIC Brazil, Brazil

"Expanding on his previous books on note-taking, and based on his experience, Andy Gillies has managed to produce a most comprehensive, detailed and helpful manual on consecutive interpreting. Although the advice and suggestions it contains are best suited to newcomers, seasoned conference interpreters will also find plenty to sink their teeth into."

Andrea Alvisi, Attitude Translations, UK

"This book is useful for both those who are studying interpreting as well as those who are in charge of interpreting education. ... As a guidebook for sequential interpreting based on the experience of sequential interpreting as of 2019, based on many years of experience, this book is very valuable and can be recommended."
