ASLIA National Mini Professional Development Event 2023

We have an exciting program planned for the online ASLIA 2023 Mini Professional Development Event.

 

Session 1    12noon- 1pm AEDT  “Interpreting medicines advice: Strategies used by experienced interpreters” presented by George Major, Auckland University of Technology

This presentation explores the strategies used by NZSL-English interpreters to effectively convey medicines advice in a pharmacy setting. Motivated by a lack of information on what interpreters actually do (as opposed to what we think we do, or should do), we worked with pharmacists to create a series of naturalistic role plays. The study took an ‘appreciative inquiry’ approach by inviting qualified and highly skilled interpreters to participate, so that the wider profession could learn from experienced colleagues.  Content analysis (Wadensjö 1998; Major & Napier 2012) was used to identify all instances where interpreters expanded the information in some way. In many instances interpreters were found to be doing more than ‘just interpreting’, for example repeating key information or explicitly checking understanding. In this presentation I will share video examples to unpack the interpreters’ decision-making in more detail and hopefully provide lots of food for discussion.
