500 YEARS INTERPRETING IN THE AMERICAS
Outline:
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 coupled with Executive Order 13666 triggered an explosion in the demand for language access services. Unfortunately, end users and frequently interpreters themselves wonder: Should the interpreter remain alone with the LEP person? Should the interpreter always remain neutral? Should the interpreter sometimes summarize? Should the interpreter provide information or referrals? Should they interpret offensive language or offer the speaker a chance to rephrase?
A comparison between XVI interpreter ethics, WA State’s GR 11.2, WAC 388-03-050 and other government agencies’ professional standards will attempt to addresses the following questions: How much has the role of public service interpreters changed throughout the centuries? Do interpreters’ ethical values change from one area of interpreting to another? How do end users expect interpreters to behave?
Learning objectives:
- Understand interpreters’ core values
- Navigate contradicting expectations
- Avoid disciplinary actions

FROM THE STAGE TO THE STAND: ACTING TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR INTERPRETATION
Learn skills and techniques used by actors and improvisers that can help you become a better interpreter. Actors controls their voice, inflection and emotions. Improvisers think quickly on their feet, create and embody characters and situations and place ultimate trust in their teammates. While used for different purposes, these skills are key to being an excellent interpreter. Join this engaging session and explore how voice control, stage (stand) presence and remaining cool under pressure assist interpreters to better their craft. There will be practice in thinking on one’s feet, coming up with creative solutions, and presenting emotive interpretation. This session should be used to become a better interpreter and have fun doing so.
