The quality of sign language interpreters – the	deaf user’s perspective

<p>The	quality	of	sign	language	interpreters	is	frequently	subject	of	debate.	What	makes	a	good	sign language	interpreter,	and	on	what	grounds	does	a	deaf	person	select	a	sign	language	interpreter?	To	answers	these	questions	and	more,	Maya	de	Wit	and	Irma	Sluis	conducted	a	study in	2013,	commissioned	by	the	Dutch	Association	of	Sign	Language	Interpreters	(NBTG),	exploring	the	quality of	sign	language	interpreters	in	the	Netherlands	from	a	deaf	user	perspective.The	presentation	will provide an	overview	of	the research	findings,	such	as	the	selection	criteria	of	the	deaf	sign	language	user	for	an	interpreter,	their	preferences	related	to	specific	settings	and	theirquality	demands	for	current	and to	be	trained	interpreters.	Based	on	the	findings,	recommendations are	proposed	for	improving	the	quality	of	the	current	sign	language	interpreters,	educating	studentinterpreters,	ensuring	further	involvement	of	sign	language	users	in	quality	assurance	and suggestions	for	future	research.</p>
