Building on the foundations of Roderick Jones’ authoritative and popular text, this brand-new textbook is a comprehensive, up-to-date and easily accessible introduction to conference interpreting. Elisabet Tiselius combines practical approaches and their theoretical underpinnings to guide beginning students. The text links exercises to the theory behind them, from early theories to modern understandings of the demands of conference interpreting.

This guide includes invaluable material on freelancing and professional development. Tiselius integrates remote interpreting and computer-aided interpreting throughout the book. The volume also includes a range of exercises from self-assessment, speech-writing, and note-taking to consecutive and simultaneous. Theoretical concepts are illustrated with anecdotes from Elisabet Tiselius’ personal experience, taking readers behind the scenes of conference interpreter education, and equipping them with the tools to understand how to practise and why different exercises are necessary.

With further reading and related video resources here: https://routledgetranslationstudiesportal.com/, this is the essential guide to understanding the practice and theory of conference interpreting for all courses in interpreting and interpreter training.

“This exceptional book is the conversation every aspiring interpreter would hope to have at the start of their professional journey. It weaves an engaging narrative about the rich and deeply rooted interpreting profession. The author’s thoughtful and interactive approach encourages meaningful reflection through tasks to complete at the end of each chapter. I know this is the book I will want all my interpreting students to adopt.” Danielle D’Hayer, London Metropolitan University

“A classic remarkably revisited! Tiselius covers each and every facet of the subject so comprehensively and minutely that the book could also be titled Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Conference Interpreting. A must read for anyone with an interest in this fascinating area of interpreting." Marc Orlando, Macquarie University
