Just Read This to the Patient. An Introduction to Teaching Sight Translation to Healthcare Interpreters 

Sight translation—converting written text in one language into spoken (or signed) text in another language—is an important skill for interpreters. While the suggestion to ‘just read it to the patient’ might seem straightforward, sight translation is a cognitively and linguistically demanding task that requires time and practice to master. In addition, decision-making regarding when, where, and how to sight translate requires a nuanced understanding of the strengths and limitations of sight translation, as well as a nuanced understanding of a variety of situational factors. This webinar provides interpreter trainers with an introduction to teaching sight translation. It describes the challenges involved in learning and performing sight translation, discusses decision-making and ethics related to sight translation, and provides practical tips and guidance for educators. 

Learning Objectives:

In this webinar, participants will:

  • Discuss the place of sight translation in the interpreter’s toolkit

  • Learn about common difficulties encountered in sight translation, both in terms of performance and of decision-making/ethics

  • Explore strategies for teaching and learning sight translation
