Assessment Issues in Language Translation and Interpreting (Language Testing and Evaluation, Book 29)

Assessment Issues in Language Translation and Interpreting (Language Testing and Evaluation, Book 29) by Dina Tsagari and Roelof van Deemter
English | 2013 | ISBN: 3631636032 | 198 pages | PDF | 9,7 MB

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.
