Final assessment and testing for community interpreter trainers : a theoretical approach

Ventouris, Antonios (author), Loupaki, Elpida (author)

As is commonly accepted, assessment is crucial in every training programme. Apart from being a knowledge-controlling mechanism, assessment helps the trainee to set clearer learning objectives, contributes to the evaluation of a training programme and promotes quality of the domain assessed. The aim of this chapter is to investigate the concept of assessment and testing with special reference to community interpreter trainers. To this purpose, we first briefly outline community interpreting, and investigate the current situation and the languages involved in Greece. Then, we propose a review of the literature in the subject of community interpreting and evaluation, and finally proceed to the comparison between different approaches of the concept of competence. The chapter concludes with a specific methodological proposal based on the distinction of competences between “basic” and “advanced” and their use as an evaluation criterion. The chapter also contains assessment activities along with some bibliographical references for further reading.
