Multilingualism and Educational Interpreting: Innovation and Delivery (E-Book)
Description
It is generally acknowledged that educational interpreting is a relatively uncharted domain within the field of language practice. Multilingualism and Educational Interpreting: Innovation and Delivery represents pioneering work in this relatively new field as far as interpreting in oral languages is concerned. The chapters included in this sixth volume of the Van Schaik series, "Studies in Language Policy in South Africa", essentially emanated from a colloquium on educational interpreting that was hosted by the guest editor, Marlene Verhoef, at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University (NWU) of South Africa during July 2007, the first of its kind to be held locally. Additionally, some relevant conference papers presented outside the colloquium were also included. The volume takes into account the South African language political context and presents educational interpreting as a practical means for the realisation of a multilingual teaching-learning environment in the South African educational sector.
