Testing techniques and quality control practices for the examination of community interpreter trainersWiedenmayer, Anthi (Avtor) Grammenidis, Simos (Avtor) TRAMIG projecttraining public service interpreterstrainers’ as-sessmenttrainers’ evaluationtesting techniquespublic service interpreters’ competencesquality controlBased on the theoretical framework of assessment and evaluation, analytically presented in the previous chapter of this volume, as well as on the protocols and the codes of ethics and conduct from different professional organisations worldwide, this chapter provides a selection of analytical tools and techniques which are developed for the final examination of trainers of community inter-preters within the framework of the TRAMIG project. The test construct is based on the competences of a community interpreter and includes a detailed testing of the interpreting competence. This includes the skills in different modes of interpreting, i.e. consecutive, simultaneous, sight translation and remote interpreting, the skills in managing the situa-tional setting, i.e. the discourse, and the ethics and conduct of a community interpreter. These skills and sub-skills are assessed in both written and oral tests, while the candidate has to pass the written form in order to proceed with the oral exam-ination. Additionally, different techniques are presented for testing the peda-gogical competence of a community interpreter trainer, e.g. the importance of giving concrete feedback to the trainees including the carefully chosen tasks to be achieved at every step of the training programme.20202021-03-04 20:47:54Neznano125117sl
