Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Teaching Dialogue Interpreting

Abstract

This chapter deals with educating dialogue interpreters working between languages/cultures that are linguistically and culturally distant to successfully deal with cultural issues when mediating in educational settings. The specific focus is on the Chinese community in Spanish schools. The objective of the article is twofold: firstly, to highlight the particular challenges of working as a linguistic and cultural intermediary in such settings, and secondly, to propose resources and activities that can serve as teaching tools. In order to achieve this goal, some key principles in designing a context-sensitive educational curriculum for dialogue interpreters are presented, followed by a description of the main characteristics of the Chinese population in the Spanish education system and of how Chinese students appear to experience Spanish classrooms. We finally illustrate a series of activities and materials that have been successfully utilised in teaching dialogue interpreters to work with the Chinese community in educational settings.1
