What is interpreting?? ‘Interpreting is….‘ ‘Interpreting isn’t….’

What is interpreting?? Interpreters work between 2 languages -Source & Target Language “Interpretation refers specifically to the process of changing a message produced in one language into another, regardless of whether the two languages are spoken or signed”. Napier, J.(2002). Sign Language Interpreting: Linguistic coping strategies. Coleford, England. p.xi

Information gathering & Sequencing Information sequencing is the key to our ability to do a successful and coherent interpretation Interpreters need to gather meaning in the source language and reproduce this in the target language

What do you notice about the Chinese & English clip? What is the interpreter doing? How does that differ to BSL & English interpreting ?

Processing Language SL – Source Language MEANING TL SL – Source Language Meaning – equivalent meaning / cultural mediation Processing uses Short term and long term memory TL – Target Language

Consecutive Interpreting Chunks the source language Allows time to process and present into the target language Accuracy May take notes

Simultaneous Interpreting Source language is processed and interpreted into target language Done at the same time of receiving further information in source language Accuracy improved by processing skills and timelag

Information gathering & Sequencing Breathe and take your time! Absorb the meaning Coherent structure in target language

Sequencing exercise

Working with an Interpreter how to work with a BSL English interpreter how not to work with an interpreter!

Coping Strategies What do I do if it all goes wrong?? How do you cope with speakers accents?? What if the speaker is too fast?? Jargon and Acronyms Reflective Practice

Module Content This module will examine the duty of Language Professionals, along with their roles & responsibilities, in conjunction with the Profession’s Code of Practice and its impact on professional conduct. The history of the ‘emerging profession’ of interpreting will be explored using relevant preparation tools and linked to current protocols for lone and co-working. A range of interpreting scenarios will be analysed to establish rights and responsibilities and to discuss the implications of accepting or rejecting assignments. Preparation for interpreting assignments will be explored in relation to preparatory models recognised within the interpreting profession.
