Abstract

The Interpreter’s Resource provides a comprehensive overview of interpreting at the start of the twenty first century. As well as explaining the different types of interpreting and their uses, it contains a number of Codes of Ethics, information on Community Interpreting around the world and detailed coverage of international organisations, which employ interpreters.

She has developed courses in Spanish-English Consecutive and Simultaneous Interpreting on the Applied Language degree and was involved in setting up the Graduate Diploma/M.A. in Conference Interpreting which began in 1999. Her research interest is community interpreting, particularly court and medical interpreting.
