Interpreter Preparedness For Specialized Settings, Jamie Walker, Sherry Shaw

Journal of Interpretation

Sign language interpreters who begin work soon after graduating from post-secondary programs, either associate-level training programs or bachelor-level interpreter education programs are vulnerable to unique challenges for which they may be inadequately prepared, especially if they work as community interpreters in specialized settings. This descriptive study represents the initial attempt to understand how graduates determine personal readiness and identifies contributors to preparedness for working in specialized settings. The sample of recent program graduates provided a snapshot of how prepared interpreters felt in their first years following graduation regarding competency in Legal, Healthcare, Mental Health, Educational, and Deaf-Blind situations. This study …

American Sign Language/English Interpreting In Legal Settings: Current Practices In North America, Len Roberson, Deb Russell, Risa Shaw

Journal of Interpretation

Standard demographic information was collected on certified and non-certified sign language interpreters relative to the provision of interpreting services in legal settings. The study examined which practices interpreters incorporate into their work in legal settings, with particular attention to working in teams consisting of deaf and hearing interpreters, use of consecutive interpreting, preparation for interpreting in legal settings, and maintaining appropriate roles in the courtroom. Findings suggest that the main reason interpreters do not specialize in legal interpreting is a lack of understanding of the nature of the work and appropriate training. A systemic training sequence that addresses many of …

“It Was Difficult To Manage The Communication”: Testing The Feasibility Of Video Remote Signed Language Interpreting In Court, Jemina Napier, Marcel Leneham

Journal of Interpretation

The aim of the project reported here was to investigate whether the use of current technology within the New South Wales (Australia) Department of Justice is appropriate for providing video remote signed language interpreting services in court given that video conference facilities make use of fixed- angle cameras that cannot be moved, zoomed in or out, or focus on different parts of the courtroom. The study sought answers to questions concerning consumer comfort levels, integrity of interpreting process, and optimum settings for interpreters to provide quality services remotely. Conclusions from the study include the need to carefully consider the technological, …

What Is A Faithful Interpretation?, Bill Moody

Journal of Interpretation

It includes brief sections on the history of conference interpreting and community interpreting, the professionalization of interpreting, models of the interpreter’s role, consumer expectations of interpreting services, the unique situation of sign language interpreters in regard to transliteration, and the measurements applied to …

Mental Health Interpreting With Language Dysfluent Deaf Clients, Charlene Crump, Neil Glickman

Journal of Interpretation

Many deaf persons served in mental health settings show significant language dysfluency in the best language, usually ASL. Sign language dysfluency in deaf people has four major causes: neurological problems associated with the etiology of deafness, language deprivation, aphasias, and psychotic disorders. Each cause can effect language development and usage in a particular way. In this article, numerous examples of sign language dysfluency are offered along with a discussion of their implications for interpreting, especially in mental health settings. The authors draw upon the Demand- Control interpreting approach of Dean and Pollard to illustrate interpreter decision-making when faced with the …

Consulting Cultural Informants: A Look At The Extent To Which Students Use Informants And Other Strategies To Learn From Their International Experiences, William Scott Leroy

Capstone Collection

This study explores the extent to which students from the United States consult with cultural informants while abroad when experiencing what Taylor (1994a, 1994b) refers to as “cultural disequilibrium”. The study also explores how this strategy compares to other learning strategies and which informants students most frequently consult.

Two research methods were used: a survey of 85 students who recently returned from an international program and interviews with nine students from the same sample. The survey sought to explore strategies students employ when facing cultural disequilibrium while the interviews aimed at uncovering why students preferred some learning strategies over others. …

Fuzzy Decision On Optimal Collision Avoidance Measures For Ships In Vessel Traffic Service, Chien-Min Su, Ki-Yin Chang, Chih-Yung Cheng

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

This article proposes a new collision avoidance decision method for ships, allowing ships at risk of collision to take timely collision avoidance measures to ensure safe passage. Through vessel traffic service (VTS) collision alert system, an analysis can be made for the probability of a ship collision and an early warning can be issued. For ships in potential collision danger, the proposed method will use Microsoft Visual Studio to establish a knowledge base of international regulations for preventing collisions at sea. Thus, based on an analysis of the situation when encountering other ships, the knowledge base will suggest an appropriate …
