“…In light of the results and discussion presented here and echoing results of previous studies (Angelelli 2008), it is recommended that more dialogue needs to take place between consumers and interpreter practitioners, between practitioners and educators; and also between spoken and signed language interpreting researchers, educators and practitioners, in order to further our knowledge and understanding of the interpreting profession, ideology, and social practice.…”

This paper presents findings of an innovative study, which involved the thematic and content analyses of discussions held by deaf people, hearing people and interpreters about signed language interpreting in Australia. Six focus groups yielded eight hours of data, which was analyzed to identify themes that emerged about participants' perceptions about interpreters and interpreting.Examples are given to compare how participants view the signed language interpreting profession, and to discuss the expectations of all parties of signed language interpreter-mediated encounters. The focus of analysis is on key themes that were evident from the most frequently used words/signs. The findings provide a clearer understanding of the relationship between consumers and interpreters, and attitudes towards signed language interpreters and interpreting in Australia.

“…Angelelli (2008) argues that all codes of conduct should be empirically grounded and tested rather than prescribed. In response to this call for additional research, this paper studies the role assigned to medical interpreters by community interpreter agencies belonging to different centers of power in Belgium -and the degree of interpreter discretion in the application of these codes.…”

This paper aims to investigate the field-level realities of the codes of conduct adhered to by different agencies in Belgium for community interpreters, and the degree of interpreter discretion in the application of these codes. We focus on the specific setting of the health care sector in Brussels, where community interpreters and intercultural mediators sent out by different agencies often operate in the same hospitals. Drawing on data obtained through participant observation, interviews with key actors in the field and desk research, we analyze how the codes of conduct applied by different agencies affect multilingual and intercultural communication in a hospital context, in particular at those levels of the communication process where misunderstandings occur most often. ResumenEste artículo analiza las distintas deontologías utilizadas por los intérpretes sociales de diferentes agencias en el contexto hospitalario en Bélgica y el grado de discreción que tienen en la aplicación de estas deontologías. Nuestro ámbito de estudio se localiza en la región de Bruselas, donde los intérpretes sociales y los mediadores interculturales operan en el mismo lugar, pero cada uno con su propia deontología. Los datos que se presentan proceden tanto de la revisión bibliográfica existente, como de la observación de los participantes en los hospitales públicos bruselenses, así como de entrevistas con personas clave en la interpretación social en estos hospitales. Los análisis realizados permiten testar cómo afectan estas diferentes deontologías a la comunicación

“…In other situations, the IEP team may want the interpreter to act beyond a neutral renderer of talk, instead taking the role of cultural informant, or culture/language broker (Angelelli, 2008). Interpreters and teams should be clear regarding their expected interpreter roles and the standards of professionalism expected within that role.…”

Preventing School Failure: Alternative Education for Children a

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As the nation as a whole becomes progressively more diverse, increasing numbers of children from linguistically diverse backgrounds are served in special education programs. Ensuring that appropriate educational services are developed for these students in collaboration with their family members as equal participants on school-based teams necessitates high-quality language interpretation during the individualized education plan process and beyond. In this article, the authors describe basic types of language interpretation errors and provide examples of how these can surface during an individualized education plan and other school-based meetings. The authors then discuss how school-based teams can facilitate accurate and quality language interpretation through implementation of research-based, best practice recommendations that reflect Individuals With Disabilities Education Act principles and components of collaborative professional-family partnerships.
