First of all I would like to thank Management Board of the English Department for giving me a great opportunity to make a research on the subject of note-taking in consecutive interpreting.

I especially would like to express my grateful thanks to my supervisor- Pham Ngoc Thach who supported me in developing ideas for this paper, agreed to read the manuscript and made a number of very useful comments.

    Note Taking Skills

    • 1786 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Note taking and note making is one of the most fundamental and important tasks that students must do. It cannot be doubted that a student that takes notes during lectures is more likely to achieve a higher grade compared to a student that does not. However, note taking might not have the positive effect the student wants if it is not done properly. “What to note down, how much to note down and how detailed the notes should be, takes time to develop” (Open University Malaysia [OUM], 2011, p. 92). Thus, this essay will focus on explaining the different methods of note making, how to take notes from printed materials and ways to develop good note taking skills during lectures. But first, an important question needs to be addressed. Why even take notes in the first place?…

    Different culture of East and West can cause problems in each other. American culture trends to individualism. They need for more privacy and personal space. They do not independent of other people. On the contrary, Chinese culture trends to collectivism. They need to more close physical contact and close personal relationship or friendship. They concern about other people live for building up a close relationship. Therefore, close proximity is often noticed in Chinese rather than individual privacy.…

    Written texts analysis

    • 403 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Since the examination of written language is easier to conduct than the scrutiny of oral texts,in that more data is available in different genres, produced by people form different backgrounds as well as with disparate purposes, it is more developed and of interest not onlyto linguists but also language teachers and literary scholars. Each of them, however,approaches this study in a different way, reaching diverse conclusions, therefore only notionsthat are mutual for them and especially those significant for language methodology areaccounted for here. What is worth mentioning is the fact that in that type of analysis scholarsdo not evaluate the content in terms of literary qualities, or grammatical appropriateness, buthow readers can infer the message that the author intended to convey (Trappes-Lomax2004:133).Apart from differences between written and spoken language described beforehand it isobviously possible to find various types and classes of discourse depending on their purpose.Written texts differ from one another not only in genre and function, but also in their structureand form, which is of primary importance to language teachers, as the knowledge of arrangement and variety of writing influences readers' understanding, memory of messagesincluded in the discourse, as well as the speed of perception. Moreover, written texts analysis provides teachers with systematic knowledge of the ways of describing texts, thanks to whichthey can make their students aware of characteristic features of discourse to which thelearners should pay particularly close attention, such as cohesion and coherence. In addition,understanding these concepts should also improve learners' writing skills as they would become aware of traits essential for a good written text (3).One of the major concerns of written discourse analysts is the relation of neighboring sentences and, in particular, factors attesting to the fact that a given text is more than only thesum of its components. It…

    I want to thank my editor, Bruce Shostak, without whose skill and patience much of this book would have been intelligible only to others who’ve had a blinding passion for foreign languages since 1944. I further thank my publisher, Steven Schragis, for venturing into publishing territory heretofore officially listed as “uninteresting”. Dr. Henry Urbanski, Founder and Head of the New Paltz Language Immersion Institute, was good enough to review key portions of the manuscript and offer toweringly helpful amendments. Dr. Urbanski’s associate, Dr. Hans Weber, was supremely helpful in safeguarding against error. I further wish to thank all my fellow language lovers from around the world who interrupted their conversations at practice parties of the Language Club to serve as willing guinea pigs for my questions and experimentations in their native languages.…
