On 17 October SCIT hosted the first remote class with the Directorate General of Conference Interpreting of the European Commission. The class was devoted to interpreter self-training. On behalf of the DG SCIC the seminar was coordinated by Paolo Torrigiani, interpreter from the Italian section of DG SCIC, and Fernando Leitao, DG SCIC e-learning coordinator. After discussing the necessity of self-training and giving organizational tips, the coordinators held two self-training sessions in real time followed by an evaluation and final brainstorming. According to Vera Vinter, a SCIT student, the seminar on self-training was everything they expected it to be and even more. It was highly practical, well-structured, and effective. They had a chance to review from a different perspective some of the techniques end exercises they already used, as well as to learn new techniques. The students have already incorporated several tips into their self-training practice: interpreting for a pure customer, panel discussion (which was very helpful in preparing for the conference, setting clear and realistic objectives. Also, the students received advice on giving mutual feedback. All in all, the remote class encouraged the students to continue effective training.
