Effectively Delivering the Message

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The most visible form of interpretation is consecutive interpretation. While students often master the intricacies of consecutive interpretation after two years, the final phase of truly becoming the speaker can often be a daunting task. One of the reasons Korean students have such a difficult time with the oral aspect of interpretation is because a lot of them learned English from books and therefore cannot easily distinguish between the written and spoken language. The purpose of this article is to look at the different aspects of public speaking from the differences in oral and written communication - covering language register, pronunciation and accent, sentence length and complexity and logical links - and link them with the delivery aspect of consecutive interpretation. By highlighting the importance of the presentation of the consecutive, it is hoped that students will be able to improve their overall performance.
