Consecutive
This interpreting method is used during formal conferences or meetings when a large or small number of individuals must understand. The speaker pauses every few sentences to allow the interpreter to orally translate after him/her for the entire group or the interpreter will whisper the translation to a small group while the speech is in progress. Additionally, the interpreter can translate questions and answers for all involved.
