Download or read book Interactive Interpreting written by Jean E. Kelly and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-02 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of sign language interpreters has evolved from a mostly monologic style of interpreting to the current use of an interactive style of interpreting. Research has shown that most of an interpreter's work occurs in settings that involve face-to-face interaction with fewer than five participants, including the interpreter. Interactive interpreting may appear to be easy, but it is demanding work. Interactive interpreting is present in the business world for job interviews or job reviews, in the medical field during examinations and procedures, in the educational setting when students meet with counselors or teachers, and in personal settings during social events. Despite all this work in interactive interpreting, the idea of examining what happens within the interpreting process has occurred relatively recently. The need is even greater as more deaf consumers start using video relay services (VRS). Even though VRS is a relatively new service, its rapid growth has created a great need for highly skilled interpreters who understand how to effectively interpret interactive discourse, especially because of the sensitive nature of many calls.

Download or read book Sign Language Interpreting written by Melanie Metzger and published by Gallaudet University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with all professional interpreters, sign language interpreters strive to achieve the proper protocol of complete objectivity and accuracy in their translation without influencing the interaction in any way. Yet, Melanie Metzger's significant work Sign Language Interpreting: Deconstructing the Myth of Neutrality demonstrates clearly that the ideal of an interpreter as a neutral language conduit does not exist. Metzger offers evidence of this disparity by analyzing two video-taped ASL-English interpreted medical interviews, one an interpreter-trainee mock interview session, and the other an actual encounter between a deaf client and a medical professional.
Download or read book Transliterating written by Jean E. Kelly and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, there has been a growing number of Interpreting Preparation Programs (IPPs) across the country set up for sign language interpreters. The focus of these programs has been to teach American Sign Language (ASL) and to train students how to interpret from ASL to English and English to ASL. A common belief among many educators and sign language interpreters is that once an individual has learned ASL-to-English and English-to-ASL interpretation, then English-based transliteration should not be a problem. However, statistics from RID show that in the first 4 years the two performance tests were offered, the failure rate for the Certificate of Transliterating (CT) was almost 54%, while the failure rate for the Certificate of Interpreting (CI) was 27%. These statistics demonstrate the need for more training in transliteration. Few, if any, texts exist that cover the task of transliterating. This book was written to fill that need. It provides a comprehensive overview of the task of transliterating, and its primary goal is to serve as a standardized curriculum for students currently enrolled in IPPs who have taken at least one semester of interpreting skills.

Download or read book The Demand Control Schema written by Robyn K. Dean and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors have been developing the demand control schema (DC-S) and their practice-profession approach to community interpreting since 1995. With its early roots pertaining to occupational health in the interpreting field, DC-S has evolved into a holistic work analysis framework which guides interpreters in their development of ethical and effective decision-making skills. Adapted from Robert Karasek's demand control theory, this textbook is the culmination of nearly two decades of work, as it evolved over the course of 22 articles and book chapters and nine DC-S research and training grants. Designed primarily for classroom use in interpreter education programs (IEPs), interpreting supervisors, mentors, and practitioners also will find this book highly rewarding. IEPs could readily use this text in introductory courses, ethics courses, and in practicum seminars. Each of its ten chapters guides the reader through increasingly sophisticated descriptions and applications of all the key elements of DC-S, including its theoretical constructs, the purpose and method of dialogic work analysis, the schema's teleological approach to interpreting ethics, and the importance of engaging in reflective practice, especially supervision of the type that is common in other practice professions. Each chapter concludes with a class activity, homework exercises, a check for understanding (quiz), discussion questions, and an advanced activity for practicing interpreters. The first page of each chapter presents a list of the chapter's key concepts, preparing the reader for an efficient and effective learning experience. Numerous full-color photos, tables, and figures help make DC-S come alive for the reader and assist in learning and retaining the concepts presented. Formal endorsements from an international panel of renown interpreter educators and scholars describe this text as "aesthetically pleasing," praising its "lively, accessible style," its "logic and organization," and referring to it as an "invaluable resource" with international appeal to "scholars and teachers." Spoken language interpreters also are proponents of DC-S and will find the material in this text applicable to their education and practice, as well. For more information regarding DC-S, including training opportunities and supervision, visit www.DemandControlSchema.com.

Download or read book Crossing Borders in Community Interpreting written by Carmen Valero Garcés and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At conferences and in the literature on community interpreting there is one burning issue that reappears constantly: the interpreter s role. What are the norms by which the facilitators of communication shape their role? Is there indeed only one role for the community interpreter or are there several? Is community interpreting aimed at facilitating communication, empowering individuals by giving them a voice or, in wider terms, at redressing the power balance in society? In this volume scholars and practitioners from different countries address these questions, offering a representative sample of ongoing research into community interpreting in the Western world, of interest to all who have a stake in this form of interpreting. The opening chapter establishes the wider contextual and theoretical framework for the debate. It is followed by a section dealing with codes and standards and then moves on to explore the interpreter s role in various different settings: courts and police, healthcare, schools, occupational settings and social services.
