Self monitoring
Observing do we know what we’re doing — while we’re doing it
Wrapping up our discussions on interpretation production, self-monitoring focuses on arguably the hardest of the discourse mapping skills, monitoring one’s own work production. What skills and factors must successful interpreters monitor while working?
Here are some bullet points/learning outcomes of which we might want to be aware:
- What tasks do you do now that require you to self monitor and measure your progress and product? How do you do that?
- What are we looking for as we self-monitor our own intepreting processes?
