CONSECUTIVE INTERPRETING
Consecutive interpreting takes more time than simultaneous interpreting by nature, but it still has many uses in not only medical settings but also legal, tour groups, or any other area that has less contiguous speaking, opportunities for pauses, and in call/response scenarios.

A consecutive interpreter listens to what the speaker says, transmits the message to the listener, and when necessary, takes the answer from the listener to interpret the response to the original speaker. This mode of interpreting requires not only impressive linguistic skills but also a steel-trap memory. A good memory is important because Interpreter must listen to an entire message before speaking it in the next language. Most often consecutive interpreters typically work alone.

Language Interpretation in American K-12 Schools

Image
by Doug Price The provision of language interpretation services in American schools is guided by federal legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974. These laws mandate that school districts must take reasonable steps to overcome language barriers that impede students' equal access to education. As a result, school districts have implemented various strategies to meet the language needs of their diverse student populations. These strategies play a crucial role in ensuring effective communication and educational equity for students who are non-native English speakers or have limited proficiency in the English language. But the key consumers of interpretation services are parents, not students. For the most part, these students are 2 nd and 3 rd generation Americans who grow up speaking English outside the home even if they still speak their native tongue at home with their parents. Parents are the ones who most often

 by: Jasmyn Sylvas The role of our LTC interpreters holds great significance in maintaining the integrity, reliability, and excellence of interpreting assignments within our company. As language barriers continue to weaken in our interconnected world, the demand for accurate and culturally sensitive communication becomes increasingly essential.

Here's why interpreter quality assurance is important to us here at LTC Ensuring Accuracy: Language interpretation is a complex and nuanced process. Attention to detail minimizes the risk of misunderstandings, misinformation, or misinterpretation, which could have significant consequences in various contexts, such as legal proceedings, healthcare, business negotiations, and more.

VRS vs VRI: Aren’t They the Same Service?

Image
Written by  Bethany Jamison, NIC Every industry comes with distinct vernacular! A common misconception specific to the American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreting Community is that the use of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) is the same as using Video Relay Services (VRS). Although both types of service are provided via a digital platform and use similar equipment, these services are quite different. Let’s take a closer look.            According to the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) website, “ VRS, like other forms of Telecommunication Relay Services (TRS) allows persons who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) to communicate through the telephone system with hearing persons. The VRS caller, using a television or a computer with a video camera device and a broadband (high-speed) Internet connection, contacts a VRS caller, who is a qualified interpreter. They communicate with each other in sign language through a video link. The VRS caller then places a telephone call to th
