Note-Taking for Consecutive Interpreting - A Short Course.
Manchester, St. Jerome Publishing, 2005, 239 pages.

노트테이킹에 관한 기본서입니다. 원서이고요 저는 학교 도서관에 있어서 빌려보았습니다.

하지만 노트테이킹은 해법이 없기에 이 책을 읽는다고 ..... 노트테이킹 실력이 쑥쑥 느는 것은 아니지만

저는 기본으로 돌아가서 다시 생각해보는 좋은 시간이었습니다.

다음은 제가 책을 읽으면서 기억하고 싶은 내용을 몇가지 끄적여본것입니다.

Notes taken in consecutive interpreting are a representation of the skeleton structure of the speech. The original speech is a group of ideas in a certain order. It is not an arbitry muddle of unrelated ideas. Your notes become the visual representation of your analysis of the source speech. You will be listening at two levels. To the words of the speech in order to understand them, but also to the overall speech, to how the bits fit together. This is what we mean by a macro-approach.

Gile(1995:178) outlines these tasks as follows.

Phase 1 : Listening and analysis, note-taking, short-term memory operations, coordination of there tasks.

Phases 2 : note-reading, remembering, production

In phases 1 the most common problem for student interpreters  (but also experienced interpreters) is that it is difficult to do all these things at the same time.

“You do not hear because you are concentrating too much on deciphering the original or on taking notes. The overload makes you deaf for a moment.”

How? Through automatization.

Automatizating an activity means repeatedly using a consistent system for the completion of a task so that it requires less intellectual effort, thus leaving time and capacity for other tasks. In regard to learning automatization is also called internalization. EX. Speaking a foreign language.

The thing about internalization, however, that it does not come from an intellectual understanding fo how to complete a task but from repeated practice of the completion of the task until it is completed correctly without thinking.

Note-taking is a mechanical activity therefore it can be made automatic, internalized.

The ancient chinese motto by which many teachers are trained.

Tell me and I will forget.

Show me I will remember

Involve me and I will understand.

이 책을 1학년 입학하자마자 봤으면... 제 노트도 좀 더 나아질 수 있지 않았을까 생각해봅니다ㅎㅎ 마지막 말처럼 정말 온전한 이해력에 기반한 노트가 최고인 듯 합니다 ^^
