Limited to 15 participants on site and 15 participants online. Both spoken language and sign language interpreters are welcome to join.

With more than 599 million speakers in 21 countries over three continents, Spanish is a multiregional, multinational and multicultural language. This diversity often poses particular challenges for interpreters.

This 3-hour workshp will include a short presentation on the peculiarities and discoursive features of Spanish followed by three short reflective practice sessions that will address different registers and accents.

Since 2000, she has been a university lecturer, trainer and course designer in Mexico and abroad for both spoken and sign language interpreter training. She is currently an adjunct professor of interpreting for the University of Massachusetts Amherst Online Program in Professional Translation & Interpreting, and Lecturer of Interpreting Studies at Mexico’s UNAM, where she teaches interpreting techniques and practice in a mixed classroom of sign and spoken language interpreters.
