This level reviews and addresses technical and ethical challenges that may arise while practicing the skills taught in Level 1. Participants will engage in intense ethical problem-solving, basing their actions on the NCIHC’s National Standards of Practice for Interpreters in Health Care. Participants will learn the second phase of their plan of study begun in Level 1, which outlines how to write a fair role play, participate both as interpreter and active listener, rate an interpretation, and provide constructive feedback in a kind manner that is useful to the student for improving skills. Participants will practice positioning, transparency, memory building, replication of style and tone, and pre-session delivery.
Objectives

Write and deliver an effective pre-session.
