Reviews
—Kim B. Kurz, Associate Professor, Department of American Sign Language & Interpreter Education, National Institute for the Deaf at the Rochester Institute of Technology, USA
“This is a systematic, didactic, very readable handbook on interpreter training. The authors make a good case for situated learning, the underlying principle being the gradual introduction of aspects of authentic situations and challenges of real-life interpreting into the guidance of student interpreters being prepared for work in the field.”
—Daniel Gile, Professor Emeritus, Université Paris Sorbonne Nouvelle, France
"What a useful and fascinating approach to teaching and learning interpretation. This book offers a promising method for guiding students ontheir journey to becoming professionals, through authentic and meaningful practice."
—Sharon Neumann Solow, Interpreter, Educator, Author, and Consultant
