Do you speak another language? Sometimes have to interpret? Interested in being an interpreter? Registration is now open on MyGFU for an exciting May Term opportunity: COMM 285 Community Interpreting<\/strong> (two credits).<\/p>\n

Meeting times will be 8 a.m. to noon<\/strong> and 1 to 5 p.m<\/strong>. (eight hours) on Monday, May 6<\/strong>; Wednesday, May 8<\/strong>; Friday, May 10<\/strong>; Monday, May 13<\/strong>; and Wednesday, May 15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An interpreter breaks the language and cultural barrier between parties that are trying to communicate orally. There is a growing need for interpreters across the U.S. as the new field of community interpreting grows in leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n

Community interpreting takes place in medical, social and educational settings. This 40-hour course covers interpreting ethics and conduct, interpreter skills and protocols, how to address culture, the settings where interpreting is provided, terminology concerns and standards of practice.<\/p>\n

There is an urgent need for interpreters who speak less common and refugee languages. This course is therefore open to native speakers, advanced students of foreign languages and heritage speakers (those who grew up speaking another language at home). The goal is to prepare aspiring interpreters to approach this new profession with poise and confidence, respecting the role boundaries that allow them to be effective language brokers.<\/p>\n

Students who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Successful Completion in addition to college credit.<\/p>\n

Instructor<\/strong>
\nHelen Eby<\/strong> is a Certified Court Interpreter for the state of Oregon and a Certified Medical Interpreter. She has interpreted in conference, medical, legal, church and school settings in almost all countries of Latin America and in the United States. She is currently the Assistant Administrator of the Spanish Division of the American Translators Association.<\/p>\n

Eby grew up in a totally bilingual environment, and has been involved in teaching languages, translation and interpreting in one form or another since she was 13. She enjoys interpreting in community settings, teaching, hiking, photography and music. She has taught Spanish at Gordon College, and Spanish and math at Covenant School in Arlington, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
