International Perspectives on Sign Language Translator and Interpreter Education
About this book
The field of sign language translator and interpreter (SLTI) education gets a global treatment in this new volume helmed by editors Jemina Napier, Stacey Webb, and Robert Adam. This second edition updates the information from the 2009 volume and adds new contributions that expand the scope of the work to include additional countries and topic areas. SLTI scholars and educators will benefit from these international perspectives and gain an improved understanding of this rapidly evolving discipline.
Each chapter, authored collaboratively by deaf and hearing educators, surveys general interpreter education and training, examines the status of the profession for both deaf and hearing practitioners, and addresses specific challenges faced within the different national frameworks. Contributors also discuss ongoing and future trends, including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on educational practices.
This volume disseminates extensive knowledge on sign language translator and interpreter education, covering established programs as well as ad hoc training, and highlighting effective teaching pedagogies and structured classroom strategies. Contributors emphasize a holistic approach to the field, integrating SLTI education, the current profession, future practitioners, and deaf communities. Although the state of the field varies widely around the world depending on the national context, this volume reveals a shared goal of advancing professional standards and improving the provision of service to deaf people worldwide.
