Abstract
-
This research aims to examine the history of interpreter education in Brazil and evaluate the importance of having formal training as a standard practice for interpreters. The intent of this research is to understand how beneficial formal education is in teaching the interpreting process by analyzing the quality of interpreting, the type of training, and the amount of training received by each interpreter. In this study, the type of interpreter education feasible in the Brazilian context is described, the process or phases of implementing this training is explored, and the practical steps necessary for a formal training program to be established in Brazil is discussed. This study used a mixed-method approach to survey and follow-up interviews.
