Public Service Interpreting Sample Clauses

Public Service Interpreting. Public Service Interpreting is the type of interpreting which enables national and regional authorities to communicate with persons of foreign and/or refugee/migrant background who do not (or insufficiently) speak the language of the country so as to examine their status as an asylum-seeker, and facilitate their access to healthcare, municipality and law enforcement services or other public services.

Public Service Interpreting. Public service interpreting has traditionally been given a higher priority in Scandinavian countries than in other parts of Europe. The public service interpreter training programme set up in 1996, in Denmark, by the Faculty of Modern Languages at the Aarhus School of Business and the Copenhagen Business School, respectively are therefore particularly relevant examples of good practise in this field. The programme is a two-year programme under the Open University. The first two terms concentrate on modules on interpreting (and translation) in medical and social settings. During the following two terms, students can choose between three different specialization modules, i.e. police and court interpreting, extended medical and psychiatric interpreting and business interpreting. All modules are concerned with interpreting techniques and ethics as well as terminology and includes guest lectures given by professionals from the respective fields. So far, the languages concerned have been Arabic, Turkish, Farsi, Polish, and Serbo-Croatian. The programme was initially set up to meet the increasing demand for qualified interpreting for immigrants and refugees. The demand came not only from the service providers, i.e. from hospitals, social agencies, courts, etc., but also from persons already working as public service interpreters but who felt the need for specific training in this area. The overall objective of the programme is to upgrade the status of PSBI and help it be recognised as a bona fide skilled language profession. The programme displays great flexibility and can therefore easily be applied in part or in whole in other countries in terms of didactics, methodology and curriculum structure.
