Download or read book Educational Interpreting written by Elizabeth A. Winston and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incisive book explores the current state of educational interpreting and how it is failing deaf students. The contributors, all renowned experts in their field, include former educational interpreters, teachers of deaf students, interpreter trainers, and deaf recipients of interpreted educations. Educational Interpreting presents the salient issues in three distinct sections. Part 1 focuses on deaf students--their perspectives on having interpreters in the classroom, the language myths that surround them, the accessibility of language to them, and their cognition. Part 2 raises questions about the support and training that interpreters receive from the school systems, the qualifications that many interpreters bring to an interpreted education, and the accessibility of everyday classrooms for deaf students placed in such environments. Part 3 presents a few of the possible suggestions for addressing the concerns of interpreted educations, and focuses primarily on the interpreter. The contributors discuss the need to (1) define the core knowledge and skills interpreters must have and (2) develop standards of practice and assessment. They also stress that interpreters cannot effect the necessary changes alone; unless and until administrators, parents, teachers, and students recognize the inherent issues of access to education through mediation, little will change for deaf students.
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 Self Employment written by Frances Ive and published by Need2Know. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working for yourself can be rewarding both personally and financially, but it can also be very tough and many small businesses fail in their first year. Frances Ive's book helps you to decide if you are the right kind of person to venture out on your own, and looks closely at both the advantages and the pitfalls of working for yourself. It also outlines the practical and emotional aspects of setting up on your own. Self-employment is very popular in the UK and is particularly suitable for women who need to run their work life around the family and the over 50s who feel that the workplace is not favourable for older people, but are nevertheless very capable and experienced. Being self-employed is very different from being employed because you have to do everything for yourself and have complete responsibility for the success or failure of the business. Conversely, you have considerable freedom and can be in control of your own destiny. This book provides a frank insight into the world of self-employment and enables people to see if it is right for them. Author: Frances Ive
