Sign Language Interpreting: Theory and Practice in Australia and New Zealand

Della Goswell, Rachel McKee and Jemina Napier

“Invaluable book for my NVQ BSL/English interpreting course”. This book provides an overview of the sign language interpreting profession in Australia and New Zealand, detailing approaches and practices in these countries.  It includes discussion of the interpreting process, the role of the interpreter, professionalism and ethics, as well as the challenges and strategies for working in a variety of different settings.  Each chapter guides readers through some of the key issues in the profession, particular to New Zealand and Australia, and provides thought questions as a reflective tool. A valuable resource.
