Over recent decades the explosive growth of globalization and regional integration 
has fueled parallel growth in multilingual interactions, leading to the fact that 
interpretation as a profession requires a comprehensive training process. Therefore, 
this skill-based manual is compiled to provide a structured syllabus of consecutive 
interpretation developed for classrooms in English Department, Banking University 
of HCMC. The materials presented here borrow heavily from Nolan's 
Interpretation: Techniques and Exercises and Hồ Văn Hiệp’s Interpretation 
Practice (Banking – Finance – Economics) to illustrate various aspects of 
interpretation in international interactions, covering an extensive range of 
theoretical aspects and supplementary exercises with Business, Banking and 
Finance resources winning heavier priority. The audio files are adapted from 
different sources to serve pedagogical and nonprofit purposes with careful citation 
and acknowledgements. All of them are meant to help coursetakers gain an insight 
into interpreter training programs, particularly those who might choose 
interpretation as their career or participate in international and business settings. 
Hopefully, through a combination of theories and steady practice, learners upon 
their course completion are able to adopt different strategies effectively, and thus 
enhance their interpretation skills significantly.
