Spanish term

reanudar

Spanish to English Social Sciences Telecom(munications) listening techniques
The third in a list of techniques for Active listening (paraphrasing, verbalizing their thoughts and emotions, and echoing).

"Eco: reanudar las palabras del interlocutor para conseguir su completa manifestación"

Unsure if it means using the interlocutor's own words, or 'resuming' them, taking up and echoing his last spoken words, if the interlocutor pauses in thought, to get him to explain himself fully (su completa manfiestacion).

Opinions?

Thanks,

Peter

In your own words "Taking up" and echoing is what it means. "Resuming" could also work IMHO, although some might interpret that as summarising (cf. "resumé"). I don't think there will be a set phrase or term.

repeat

As others have mentioned, I think 'take up' would work, but maybe another option is 'repeat'. As in, you echo or repeat the last few words someone said so they finish the thought. Like 'so, you were saying XXX...'
Maybe 'use' would even work.

- Echo: repeat the speaker's words...
- Echo: use the speaker's words...

pick up on

Neilmac has already mentioned take up and echo - the latter prefacing the quote asked about, so I will leave those permutations outm of my own idiomatic answer.
Example sentence:

[pick up on something] to talk in more detail about something that someone has mentioned I’d just like to pick up on a couple of points that you made. Synonyms and related words To discuss something:discuss, consider, talk...

Note from asker:
Also valid. Thank you, Adrian!

echoing

My option.
Note from asker:
Thank you, Juan. Since "echo" is in the title of this item, I like to change the next word, so I've gone with "repeat". Appreciate your submission, though! It's a valid option.
