Upcoming Interpreter Training Opportunities from Panoltia

Interpreting for Educators


The ESOL Program Greenville County Schools is hosting a Panoltia interpreter training in Greenville, SC on May 14, 2008 at the University Center.

There's more to interpreting in our schools than simply being bilingual - much more!

Interpreting for Educators is a high-quality, state-of-the-art, one-day seminar for bilingual teachers, counselors, clerical or administrative employees, or anyone else who is called upon to interpret in school settings.

Besides learning effective interpreting skills, participants also learn about Latino culture and how cultural differences can dramatically affect a student's success.

Co-developed by Yasmin Wurts Metivier of Panoltia, and Eta Trabing of the Berkana Language Center in Houston, Texas, this workshop is based on more than 50 years of professional interpreter and interpreter instruction experience. Topics include:

  • The Role of the Interpreter
  • Types of Interpreters and Modes of Interpretation
  • Interpretation Skills and Techniques
  • Interpreter's Code of Ethics
  • Latino Belief System and Cultural Differences
  • and much more

Participant Prerequisites: Must be bilingual (English/Spanish). The fee for this seminar is $129 per person, and that includes a copy of the Manual For School Interpreters published by Berkana Language Center and Panoltia, Inc. (a $50 retail value).

Date: May 14, 2008, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm

Location: University Center, 225 S. Pleasantburg Dr., Greenville, SC 29607
