On 2-4 October SCIT hosted Rita Nikolajeva, EC SCIC interpreter. Our guest is a highly qualified specialist with vast experience in teaching interpretation at universities in Latvia and Germany, freelance interpreting, and working for the European Commission. The master-classes were aimed at practicing notetaking. Rita Nikolajeva made a short theoretical introduction and gave most of the class-time to the intensive practice. The speeches were prepared by the students. Except master-classes, Rita Nikolajeva took part in the seminar Terra Translatologica, and even engaged in the discussion with the speaker Michael Demidov. SCIT students thank Rita for the lessons, and for the notebooks she generously gave them to train notetaking!
