PLD Sessions at ATA56: Sheyla Carvalho

December 29, 2015 By PLD Leave a Comment

We’re back this week with three new posts containing information about PLD members who shared their knowledge with attendees at the ATA 56th Annual Conference this year. Today we’d like to share the slides used by Sheyla Carvalho during her session: “The First Generation of Conference Interpreters Trained Online: What Can They Teach Us?”

Sheyla

Abstract:
In 2011, the speaker adapted the face-to-face conference interpreting training program she had first developed for her company in 2000, and designed a new, fully online training course on conference interpreting. Since 2000, the online course has improved based on input from students and changes in technology. This session will analyze data provided from interviews and surveys undertaken with the speaker’s former online students (specifically those who graduated two to five years ago). Students were asked about the impact of online training on their professional careers, with a view toward improving online education for interpreters.
