Role-Space Theory and the Training of Interpreters
This webinar will provide an overview of the Role-Space model developed by Peter Llewellyn-Jones and Robert G. Lee. The core premise is that a role is not something we have, rather is it something we do. The model proposes three interrelated dimensions of interpreter decision making and behavior: interaction management, participant alignment and the presentation of self. The interaction between and amongst these axes forms the role-space that an interpreter occupies in an interaction. Before learning to interpret, students must be aware of their own communicative behaviors in the languages and cultures with which they work before applying them cross-linguistically and cross-culturally. Examples from the trainer’s own interpreting and teaching practice will be provided to illustrate applications of the model.
Learning Objectives:
-
Demonstrate an understanding of the role-space model and its theoretical foundations
-
Explain the 3 inter-related axes of the role-space model
-
Apply the components of the role-space model in designing screening, training, and assessment of interpreters
