Description
xHow does one become an interpreter, and what knowledge and skills are developed along the way? What does developing an identity as an interpreter involve? Becoming an Interpreter bridges the gap between theory and practice, weaving together personal narratives and research insights to explore questions like these.
Becoming an Interpreter is structured around five dimensions of becoming that connect foundational concepts to lived experience: community, social aspects, acquisition of interpreting skills, ethical reasoning and decision-making, and coping with emotion and stress. Together, these varied perspectives and experiences show that there is no one single breakthrough moment for becoming an interpreter; there are many. At the end of each chapter, there are interactive prompts that invite readers to pause and reflect.
Designed for students, developing interpreters, and individuals considering interpreting as a career, Becoming an Interpreter is an introduction to the field and an essential resource for professional reflection and growth.
