Abstract

Researchers now understand interpreting as an active process between two languages and cultures, with social interaction, sociolinguistics, and discourse analysis as more appropriate theoretical frameworks. This volume acts upon these insights by presenting six dynamic teaching practices to help interpreters achieve the highest level of skill.
