Assessment Issues in Language Translation and Interpreting Hardback
Edited by Dina Tsagari, Dina Tsagari
Part of the Language Testing and Evaluation series
Hardback
Description
The need for reliable and valid assessments of translator and interpreter skills has been widely acknowledged inside and outside these professions and the (language) testing community.
Despite this agreement, the actual assessments which serve as gatekeepers for professional translators and interpreters do not always live up to the expectations.
The focus of the volume is on the assessment of translator and interpreter skills leading to authorization, accreditation, registration and certification in different countries of the world.
Apart from the description of the different assessment systems, the chapters shed light on the intricate social, political and financial issues influencing the choices that lead to a specific kind of assessment.
