Introduction to Educational Interpreting and Translation

Abstract

Introduction to Educational Interpreting and Translation is written with the working interpreter in mind. Drawing on years of experience interpreting in U.S. public schools, author Judy Cortés, PhD, tackles the topics most relevant to educational interpreters. Learn to handle a broad range of assignments effectively, from IEPs to assessments to parent-teacher conferences, whether interpreting in-person or remotely. If you’re new to the field or simply looking to refine your approach, this book has you covered. With an emphasis on promoting language accessibility, IEIT is relevant not only to interpreters and translators, but also teachers, specialists, trainers and school administrators. Written in clear, engaging language, this book will provide educational interpreters a solid foundation in interpreter ethics, all modes of interpreting, as well as important legal requirements. IEIT is both a guide to the field and a hands-on workbook for skill reinforcement, packed with review activities, role plays and practical exercises.https://digitalcommons.csumb.edu/fac_books/1083/thumbnail.jp
