interpreters.

Define intervening - answerThe act of interrupting a session for any reason.

What are some exceptions to using first person? - answer*Young children (esp. <7)
*People suffering from dementia
*People who are intoxicated/cases of substance abuse
*Emergencies

What should you do if a provider keeps speaking in third person? (E.g., "Ask him how
long this has been going on." "Tell her to come back in three weeks.") - answer* First,
adopt an unobtrusive position and cut off eye contact.
* If that does not work, intervene to perform a "role clarification" and remind the provider
to please address the patient/client, not the interpreter.
* If the provider persists, use a hand gesture to direct his/her attention to the
patient/client.
* If these attempts fail, as an absolute LAST RESORT consider interpreting in first
person (but this is not technically accurate and NOT recommended).
* Then mediate outside the session to point out that first person is much faster,
promotes direct communication and trust, and is much easier to interpret.

Name the most important language excess law in the US. - answerTitle VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964.

Why do memory skills matter for interpreters? - answerInterrupting the speakers too
often distracts them, can upset their train of thought and cause them to forget things.
Also, you will never be a professional community interpreter w/o developing enough
memory skills to avoid interrupting a complete thought or statement.

What is the purpose of interpreting? - answerTo facilitate communication between 2 or
more parties who do not share a common language.
