TOPICS:

Editing and Proofreading: Light at the End of the Tunnel!

You’ve finished the first draft. But you’re not done yet! Language professionals edit and proofread every day. Improve these skills with methods that you can immediately apply in your work, in combinations that take account of your own strengths and weaknesses. This workshop introduces methods to make the final process of checking a text more reliable and to assure translators, editors, and writers that they are delivering an accurate, well-presented, and professional product. We’ll explore old-fashioned, time-tested proofreading techniques and newer electronic tools, and fashion them into processes that work in our fast-paced, deadline-driven world. Participants will leave with practical tips that can be applied immediately. The workshop will include exercises, quizzes and multiple interactive segments, so participants should plan to have their cameras on and be active throughout.

Note-Taking with Symbols: Tips and Tricks

Grab your notepad and a pen. We're going to make some magic happen so that you can take your note-taking to the next level! During this workshop, we will briefly cover a few basic elements of note-taking and then we will dive right into learning some symbols for concepts frequently used when interpreting in education settings. We will be drilling these symbols with a variety of engaging exercises and fun activities so that they can become second nature to you.
