Developing and evaluating digital training materials for interpreting in refugee transit zonesNuč Blažič, Aleksandra (Avtor) Iacono, Katia (Avtor) Pöllabauer, Sonja (Avtor) digital multimedia training materialsinterpreter educationpublic service interpretinginterpreting in refugee transit zonescrisis translationThe increase in migration to Europe over the last decade has spurred a growing demand for interpreting in reception and public service situations. Language mediation in such contexts often relies on untrained interpreters. Interpreter education and awareness-raising, both among interpreters and users of interpreters, are thus important steps towards quality assurance and professionalization. This contribution presents findings from a multi-step user study among interpreting students and novice practitioners. The participants evaluated the usefulness of digital training resources developed in the Erasmus+ project ReTrans (Working with Interpreters in Refugee Transit Zones). Semi-structured interviews provided valuable insight into the strengths and weaknesses of these resources, particularly regarding key aspects such as confidence-building, the balance between theoretical content and practical applicability, and overall usefulness.Založba Univerze v Ljubljani20262026-06-30 03:08:00Znanstveno delo98669sl
