Grounded in cognitive theories of interpreting, the research adopts a process-oriented approach to interpreter training. A quasi-experimental design was implemented at the Translation Institute of Oran, where a 7-week training module integrated targeted exercises to enhance cognitive skills. Pre-test and post-test assessments using consecutive interpreting tasks measured participants' performance, evaluated through a tailored assessment rubric. Statistical analyses revealed significant improvements, supported by qualitative feedback from a post-experiment questionnaire. Findings suggest that cognitive training enhances interpreters' retention, reformulation accuracy, and delivery fluency. The study underscores the pedagogical value of integrating cognitive skill-building exercises in interpreter education while acknowledging limitations related to sample size and participant variability.eninterpreter trainingcognitive skillsactive listeningworking memorypublic speakingquasi-experimentCognitive Skills Exercises in Preliminary Interpreter TrainingThesis
