Consecutive interpretation is a method of interpreting spoken language where the interpreter listens to a speaker and then conveys the message in another language after the speaker pauses. This technique allows the interpreter to take notes and ensures that the interpretation is accurate and coherent. It is commonly used in settings like business meetings, conferences, and legal proceedings.
In consecutive interpretation, the speaker typically delivers their message in segments, allowing the interpreter to translate each segment before the speaker continues. This approach is beneficial for maintaining clarity and ensuring that the audience fully understands the content being communicated.
