Interpreting services for Australian Aboriginal languages

该项目旨在调查原住民的口译实践。这个项目期望在卫生保健口译领域产生新的知识，使用人种学和微观分析方法来实现实际的现场口译互动。预期成果包括通过开发西澳大利亚州使用的通俗语言和澳大利亚土著语言最佳做法交流资源，加强向原住民提供口译员服务的能力。这将带来重大好处，如改善原住民的福祉和口译员和从业人员的健康素养，以及使理事机构能够微调多语种政策。

This project aims to investigate interpreting practice with First Nations Peoples. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of healthcare interpreting using an ethnographic and micro-analytical approach to actual in situ interpreter mediated interactions. Expected outcomes include enhanced capacity to improve interpreter service delivery for First Nations Peoples via the development of resources for best-practice communication in plain language and Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in Western Australia. This should provide significant benefits such as improving First Nations Peoples’ wellbeing and interpreter and practitioner health literacy, as well as enabling governing bodies to finetune multilingual policies.
