Scenario One: You can speak Arabic, and your coworker at the front desk asks you to “help” talk to a drop-in client who can only communicate in a language “sounding like Arabic”.
Scenario Two: You hired an interpreter for a meeting with a newcomer. It seems that they talk a lot without engaging you.
Scenario Three: You are on a teleconference with an interpreter and your client, and it seems that the interpreter asks so many questions.
What roles are you playing in these scenarios? Is the interpreter doing a good job? How would you know?
Let’s discuss and explore in the professional development session: Work with/as an Interpreter. This session is designed to enhance the skills and competencies of professionals engaging in or collaborating with interpreting services. This course covers essential topics such as ethical standards, effective communication techniques, cultural awareness, and the practical applications of interpreting across various settings, including medical, legal, and community environments.
