Interpreting in child welfare

研究项目“儿童福利口译”首次调查了口译护理规划会议和教育咨询的复杂实现。虽然定量研究表明，在儿童福利程序中使用口译员方面非常需要采取行动，但如何确保行为者之间的相互理解仍不清楚。该项目致力于这一（国际）国家研究的迫切需要，并首次使话语的“社区口译”可用于儿童服务的研究。其目的是提供有根据的见解如何解释咨询会议可以成功的教育援助的具体设置，可以设计为适合服务用户。研究结果应有助于进一步发展儿童口译服务。为此目的，儿童福利的中央程序-主要是护理规划会议，并与此相反，教育咨询-分析与对话分析的方法。数据收集还将侧重于与计算机语言助理的口译互动。为了科普研究主题的复杂性，采用了录像方法。这种方法使得解释的交互序列的并行话语模态可用于分析。此外，还为参与者举办讲习班，以考虑到迄今为止被忽视的外语客户的观点。数据收集包括两个阶段。首先，将重点关注口译护理规划会议。在第二步中，数据收集将扩展到解释儿童指导谈话与对比星座的演员在理论抽样的意义上（格拉泽/施特劳斯2005年）。出于实际研究的原因，样本仅限于阿拉伯语和波斯语。该分析是基于多模态会话分析，并侧重于会话的做法，这是由社会工作者，口译员和客户建立和组织他们的社会现实和互动。会话实践将在一个重复的序列和收集分析的过程中进行研究。这允许系统地比较两种设置的交互顺序。最后一个工作步骤计划在与口译员和社会工作者的联合研讨会上审查和讨论研究结果，以促进将见解转化为专业实践。

For the first time, the research project „interpreting in child welfare“ is investigating the complex realization of interpreted care planning conferences and education advisory. Although quantitative studies indicate a high need for action when it comes to the use of interpreters in child welfare procedures, it is still unclear how the mutual understanding between the actors can be ensured. The project works on this (inter)national research desideratum and, for the first time, makes the discourse of 'community interpreting' usable for children’s services research. The aim is to provide well-founded insights into how interpreted counseling sessions can succeed in the specific setting of educational assistance and can be designed to suit the service user. The findings should contribute to the further development of interpreted children’s services. For this purpose, the central procedures of child welfare – primarily care planning conferences and, in contrast to this, education advisory – are analyzed with a conversation-analytical approach. The data collection will also focus on interpreted interactions with computerbased language assistants. In order to cope with the complexity of the subject matter of the study, a videographic approach is pursued. This approach makes the parallel utterance modalities of the interpreted interaction sequences accessible to analysis. In addition, workshops with the participants are conducted in order to take into account the so far disregarded perspectives of the foreign-language clients. The data collection consists of two phases. First, interpreted care planning conferences will be focused. In a second step the data collection will be extended to interpreted child guidance talks with contrasting constellations of actors in the sense of theoretical sampling (Glaser/Strauss 2005). For practical research reasons, the sample is limited to Arabic and Persian languages. The analysis is based on a multimodal conversation analysis and focuses on the conversational practices, which are used by the social workers, interpreters and clients to establish and organize their social reality and interaction. The conversational practices will be investigated in a repetitive process of sequence and collection analysis. This allows for a systematic comparison of the interaction order of both settings. The final work step plans to review and discuss the research results in a joint workshop with interpreters and social workers, in order to increase the transfer of insights into professional practice.
