Improving Short-Term Memory and Focus for Interpreters – 3 CEUs

Hosted by the Northwest Translators and Interpreters Society: Sharpen your skills with this hands-on workshop designed for interpreters at all levels — whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned professional. This interactive session focuses on strengthening two critical interpreting abilities: short-term memory and focused attention.

Tailored for interpreters in court, healthcare, community, and educational settings, the workshop introduces practical, easy-to-replicate skill drills that you can incorporate into your personal practice routine.

Through participatory exercises, you’ll explore:

• Techniques to enhance memory retention 
• Techniques to sustain attention
• Methods to track and measure progress
• Strategies to identify and analyze errors
• How to increase challenge levels over time for continuous growth

You’ll walk away with tools to assess your own performance, choose drills that target specific skill gaps, and build a sustainable practice plan for ongoing professional improvement.

Ready to boost your interpreting accuracy and confidence? Join us and take the first step toward sharper focus and stronger memory on the job.
