CEUs: 0.2 PS
Presenter: Andrea Smith
Presented in: Spoken English with Captions
Format: Archived Webinar
Interpreters working in every setting will encounter consumers who use profanity and/or talk about issues that are sensitive in nature. Due to the nature of the language and the emotions these topics often evoke, interpreters must consider their impact on the interpreted interaction. Participants will learn issues that impact interpreting this type of content, ethical considerations and factors that affect faithful interpreting in these situations. Warning! This workshop may contain explicit language and frank discussions on a variety of sensitive and controversial topics.
- Participants will be able to identify subjects that illicit an emotional reaction from interpreters.
- Participants will be able to identify and describe the factors that affect the use of profanity by consumers.
- Participants will be able to define the context factors that interpreters must consider when interpreting profanity and sensitive content.
- Participants will be able to describe possible approaches to sensitive material when presented in sample scenarios.
