Lost In The Shuffle: Deaf-Parented Interpreters And Their Paths To Interpreting Careers, Amy Williamson
Lost In The Shuffle: Deaf-Parented Interpreters And Their Paths To Interpreting Careers, Amy Williamson
International Journal of Interpreter Education
Deaf-parented individuals have experiences as child language brokers (Napier, in press) and as native and heritage users of signed language (Compton, 2014) prior to engaging in a formal interpreter education program or seeking training to become an interpreter. Anecdotally, deaf-parented interpreters say that educational opportunities do not meet their specific needs and skill sets but instead are designed for the L2 user of signed language. A goal of this study was to expand the limited research that currently exists in the field of interpreter education as it relates to L1 users of American Sign Language (ASL)—specifically, deaf-parented individuals. This study …

Formalizing Community Interpreting Standards: A Cross-National Comparison Of Testing Systems, Certification Conventions And Recent Iso Guidelines, Jim Hlavac
International Journal of Interpreter Education
Community interpreting has become a global phenomenon, and the need for standard assurances of practice is being met by credentialing systems that certify a community interpreter through testing and/or training. This paper examines credentialing systems in Australia, Canada, Norway and the UK and poses the questions of whether the spread and development of testing systems has led to a widening of the skills now required for community interpreting, and whether testing alone is a means for the demonstration of all of these skills. Some attributes of credential candidates are pretest admission prerequisites. Testing alone is the common pathway for community …

Reaping The Benefits Of Vicarious Trauma, Michael A. Harvey
Reaping The Benefits Of Vicarious Trauma, Michael A. Harvey
International Journal of Interpreter Education
This article illustrates a mode of inquiry for reaping the benefits of experiencing vicarious trauma that can be utilized in interpreter education, mentoring and supervisory relationships, debriefing, and personal reflection. An adaptation of constructivist self-development theory and a narrative therapy approach are described. The latter approach includes the uncovering of what is absent but implicit, the uncovering of actions reflective of one’s personal agency, the relevant skills that one utilizes, and the social/relational history of these skills. Mitigating the risks and reaping the benefits of vicarious trauma may catalyze significant professional and personal growth such as clarification of values, self-identity, …
Recommendations For Interpreter Training For Asylum Interview Settings: The South Korean Case, Jieun Lee, Moonsun Choi
Recommendations For Interpreter Training For Asylum Interview Settings: The South Korean Case, Jieun Lee, Moonsun Choi
International Journal of Interpreter Education
The growing number of asylum applications submitted in South Korea and the recent passage of the Refugee Act (2013) call for a system for the provision of professional interpreting service and the training of interpreters for the asylum process. Although a few ad hoc training initiatives have been implemented in recent years, there is currently no training course that fulfills the requirements of the Act. This article thus aims to propose an appropriate training program for the certification of interpreters to be engaged in asylum interviews. To ensure the effectiveness of the training, the proposed training framework begins with prescreening …
Storied Classrooms: Narrative Pedagogy In American Sign Language–English Interpreter Education, Brenda S. Nicodemus, Janis Cole, Laurie Swabey
Storied Classrooms: Narrative Pedagogy In American Sign Language–English Interpreter Education, Brenda S. Nicodemus, Janis Cole, Laurie Swabey
International Journal of Interpreter Education
Narrative pedagogy is an educational method that draws on the power of stories to cultivate learning. Narrative has been described as the fundamental way that individuals “make sense” of events by connecting new information to their own lived experiences. In this article, we argue that narratives are underutilized in American Sign Language–English interpreter education, perhaps due to concerns about confidentiality. This article describes an educational project that incorporated narratives from experienced medical interpreters into an interpreting course. The primary learning objective for students was to become familiar with specific competencies necessary for successful practice in medical settings. Drawing on the …

Challenges Of Court Interpreting: Implications For Interpreter Education, Danny Wang, Lynn E. Grant
International Journal of Interpreter Education
This article aims to examine the findings of a research study into challenges faced by court interpreters in New Zealand. Despite the research being conducted on court interpreters who were based in New Zealand, implications of this article may also be applicable to overseas court interpreter educators and practitioners. The research included an online survey followed by interviews with practicing court interpreters. A total of 30 court interpreters throughout the country participated in the survey, and 11 volunteered to be interviewed. Survey respondents were asked about challenges encountered at work, including legal terminology, terminology in other domains, tag questions, and …

Vicarious Trauma Among Interpreters, Miranda Lai, Georgina Heydon
Vicarious Trauma Among Interpreters, Miranda Lai, Georgina Heydon
International Journal of Interpreter Education
Public service interpreters in Australia work in a range of areas including welfare, health, education and criminal justice. Some of their assignments contain traumatic client material, which may be confrontational, upsetting or off-putting for an interpreter, potentially impacting on their perceived cognitive processes and emotions during and after the interpreting assignment. Through a large-scale online survey of 271 practicing interpreters in Victoria, Australia, the authors explore the extent of exposure to traumatic client material, interpreters’ ways of coping with such material, and how institutional care and self-care are administered, if they are at all. The findings of the survey are …
Job Demands And Resources: An Exploration Of Sign Language Interpreter Educators’Experiences, Stacey Webb, Jemina M. Napier
Job Demands And Resources: An Exploration Of Sign Language Interpreter Educators’Experiences, Stacey Webb, Jemina M. Napier
International Journal of Interpreter Education
This article presents preliminary research regarding sign language interpreter educators’ experiences of job demands and job resources. The study draws on job demand–resources theory (Bakker et al, 2014), where job demands have been identified as leading causes of burnout leading to poor health and negative organizational outcomes, and job resources are the main drivers of work engagement leading to increased well-being and positive organizational outcomes. In considering the ‘readiness to work’ gap evident in graduating sign language interpreting students (Anderson & Stauffer, 1990), not enough attention has been paid to interpreter educators’ ability to deliver what is needed. …
Bridging The Gap Between Interpreting Classrooms And Real-World Interpreting:, Binhua Wang
Bridging The Gap Between Interpreting Classrooms And Real-World Interpreting:, Binhua Wang
International Journal of Interpreter Education
Developing students’ interpreting competence requires not only systematic training of interpreting skills but also sufficient authentic and deliberate practice, as well as acquisition of professional interpreting strategies and norms. To this end, students need to be encouraged to do more autonomous, situated, and self-reflective learning in addition to classroom learning. This article reports on an interpreting-corpus-based blended-learning project of interpreter training, which, by complementing in-class instruction with out-of-class online practice, was designed to enhance students’ awareness of interpreting strategies and to develop their professional competence. The design, implementation and effectiveness of the project are described and an experiential learning model …
Teaching Interpreters About Self-Care, Ineke Crezee
Teaching Interpreters About Self-Care, Ineke Crezee
International Journal of Interpreter Education
Personal factors as well as the nature of certain assignments may negatively impact interpreters and cause stress. The authors sought to examine the various stressors that affect interpreters. They argue that if interpreters are able to identify a potential stressor early on, they may be able to address it through self-care. In the worst-case scenario, ongoing and unaddressed negative impact may result in burnout, at which stage professional assistance will be required and there may be long-term consequences. The authors propose an approach aimed at helping interpreters recognize signs of being negatively impacted, as well as teaching them self-care techniques, …

From The Classroom To The Community: Supported Fieldwork For Asl-English Interpreters, Janice H. Humphrey
From The Classroom To The Community: Supported Fieldwork For Asl-English Interpreters, Janice H. Humphrey
International Journal of Interpreter Education
This article aims to describe an approach to supervised mentorship that can help close the current readiness-to-work gap among graduates of both 2 and 4-year interpreter education programs, expand student confidence, prepare students for transition to work or additional education and partially restore the role of Deaf community members as cultural guides and gatekeepers. This sequence of mentorship settings can also be used to guide instructors in determining a student’s readiness for practicum or internship placement, identifying the most appropriate fieldwork setting for each student, and alerting students and potential employers of their readiness to work.

Interpreter Boot Camp: Working Toward Achieving Interpreter Standards, Jessica Bentley Sassaman
Interpreter Boot Camp: Working Toward Achieving Interpreter Standards, Jessica Bentley Sassaman
International Journal of Interpreter Education
A project was established in the state of Pennsylvania to mentor interpreters who scored between 3.0 and3.4 on the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment(EIPA), missing the state minimum standard score of 3.5 or higher. This article serves as a template for interpreter trainers interested in setting up an interpreter “boot camp” to assist graduates in bridging the gap from an interpreter training program to work in an educational setting. Four mentees and four mentors, two instructors from interpreting programs, and one educational consultant participated in the Pennsylvania Interpreter Boot Camp. Although not all mentees achieved the targeted 3.5 scores when they …

Professional Interpreter Trainingin Mainland China: Evolution And Current Trends, Cheng Zhan
International Journal of Interpreter Education
Professional interpreter training in Mainland China has developed tremendously since it was first included in higher education programs. China’sunprecedented economic development, coupled with its rising strength in international affairs, have increasingly helped professional interpreter training obtain its academic status. Such a process has not only been rapid, but it has also shown characteristics typical of the higher education context in China. In this article, the author reviews the history and evolution of professional interpreter training in China and analyzes current trends. The author also points out some challenges and problems facing the training of interpreters in academic programs.
