Target audience:
Active interpreters in need of formal training
Trained interpreters in need of a refresher course
Brief description:
In this training, CCCS outlines simple interpreting strategies for
accuracy
and completeness as well as tips for controlling the flow of triadic
communication, asking for repetition and clarification, and successfully
executing the three stages of complete interpretation: pre-session,
session
and post-session.
Language-specific student groups will work independently to master English
and target language medical terminology and develop bilingual glossaries
for
use in their interpreting practice. Language coaches and target language
materials will be provided for each group.
Upon completion of this training program, we expect that you will
demonstrate a greater understanding of the power of language through the
Samurai! method for taming complex medical terminology. You will also have
become familiar with key cultural competency models, conflict resolution
tools for the triadic encounter, and their practical applications in basic
interpreting.
Tuition: $650 (includes textbook, materials, and graduation luncheon).
Class
size is limited to 20 interpreters.
Admission Requirements: Admission requires submission of a completed
application and non-refundable $375 deposit, and proof of interpreting
experience, as expressed in one of the following: a letter of
recommendation
stating that the applicant has worked as an interpreter or related
profession or has served as a volunteer interpreter; or enrollment in a
graduate or undergraduate program in a related field. Applicants must also
pass a language screening in English and their target language.
