Interpreting in Education
A New Opportunity
In the education field, interpreting goes beyond helping students in the classroom. It is essential to provide every member in a community with equal opportunities to participate in the education process. As a result, interpreters are found in all types of settings during a school day: curriculum instruction, parent-teacher meetings, school events, disciplinary hearings, and board meetings
Joining the Education Field
Interpreters typically work alongside healthcare specialists, school administrators, city officials, legal advisors, financial experts, public speakers, and teachers. These requires them to study the vocabulary of many specialties extensively and to develop the necessary interpreting core skills to put this knowledge at work.
The Core Skills
Candidates that wish to work as interpreters in the field of education need to prove a high level proficiency in these core skills:
Sight Translation
Reading a document in the original language and translating it out loud.
Simultaneous
Interpreting spoken language in real-time without interrupting the speaker.
Consecutive
Interpreting spoken language after the speaker has finished delivering a message.
