"After we incorporated these texts into our curriculum, eight out of nine students passed the boards - a marked improvement compared to previous graduating classes. The skills acquired from these materials really gave students that extra edge needed to experience success."

"Carol Patrie's Effective Interpreting Series describes and analyzes the process of translation and interpretation so that the student can learn to look at their work critically and specifically, in order to improve its accuracy and dynamic equivalence. The books in this series are great for independent study projects for CEUs. Check them out!"
