- 8. INTERPRETATION TYPESSimultaneous: In simultaneous interpretation (SI), the interpreter renders the message in the target-language as quickly as he or she can formulate it from the source language, while the source-language speaker continuously speaks.Consecutive: In consecutive interpreting (CI), the interpreter speaks after the source-language speaker has finished speaking. The speech is divided into segments, and the interpreter sits or stands beside the source-language speaker, listening and taking notes as the speaker progresses through the message.

- 9. INTERPRETATION TYPESWhispered: In whispered interpreting, the interpreter sits or stands next to the small target-language audience whilst whispering a simultaneous interpretation of the matter to hand; this method requires no equipment, but may be done via a microphone and headphones if the participants prefer.Material for educational purposes
- 10. INTERPRETATION TYPESRelay: Relay interpreting is usually used when there are several target languages. A source-language interpreter interprets the text to a language common to every interpreter, who then render the message to their respective target languages.Liaison: Liaison interpreting involves relaying what is spoken to one, between two, or among many people. This can be done after a short speech, or consecutively, sentence-by-sentenceMaterial for educational purposes
- 11. MODALITIESOn-site: Also called "in-person interpreting," this delivery method requires the interpreter to be physically present in order for the interpretation to take place. Telephone: Also referred to as "over-the-phone interpreting," this modality enables the interpreter to deliver interpretation via telephone. The interpreter is added to a conference call.Video: Interpretation services via Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) or a Video Relay Service (VRS) are useful where one of the parties is deaf, hard-of-hearing or speech-impaired (mute). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIG-YKwy_Zk&feature=relatedMaterial for educational purposes
