Book
Review
Written by a
renowned expert in the field, this new book focuses on the dynamics of
interpreting - its techniques, modes, conditions and prerequisites. It presents
an easy-to-follow guide for interpreting students and practitioners to help them
achieve accreditation and perform better. Drawing on state-of-the-art theories
and models and on 30 years of experience as a practitioner in the Arab World,
Britain and Australia and on 10 years of experience as a university teacher and
examiner, the author has written an accessible guide to the art and science of
interpreting.
The book is
written in a programmatic approach— major topics are introduced in the early
chapters and expanded in later chapters. For example, the different modes and
types of interpreting are introduced in chapter two, and further discussed each
in a separate chapter. This approach makes the book suitable for structured
training of interpreters. It is not intended to be read as a novel from cover to
cover in one sitting.
This book is an
ideal guide for students, practitioners and teachers of Arabic/English
interpreting.
