Interpreter Training (mostly designed for training)

Margaret's Comments

Below is a set of training videos sent to me by an interpreting expert/ trainer, Neri Sevenier. This is a really interesting collection of videos:  Canadian videos on courtroom ethics, US State Courts videos, and even a talk by the remaining survivor of the Nuremberg Trials (interpreter, simultaneous interpreting). I've sampled some from each group. They tend to be short--good for training.I think the one on the Nuremberg trial is the longest, 40+ minutes.

1. Red Corner

From: Neri Sevenier

I often use an excerpt from Red Corner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsftwcuwJ2g. From 0:22:48 till 0:28:10.

It does not really concern problems with interpreting, but helps demonstrate the importance of an interpreter for the accused (his panic when there is a communication breakdown) and the difficulty of understanding standard behavior and making decisions in a foreign court with a different culture.

 

Margaret's Comments:  I initially requested ideas on videos films on interpreting issues/ errors for possible use in a state judges conference. Due to time constraints we've decided to use part of the above excerpt from Red Corner. We had to purchase the DVD:  23:23 to 27:47. The Supreme Court education office technology expert is going to "plug it into" my power point presentation.  I introduce the video clip with a ppt. slide with a picture of the DVD cover along with a few phrases about the video: title, stars, and a one-line summary.  I plan to also talk very briefly about the reason for using this clip and a few legal context notes to prepare the audience.
