Teaming: Together We Stand

Team Interpreting is a skill. Not only do team members have to have interpersonal skills they also need to be aware of commonly used techniques and practices. When a team Interpreter strays from these industry standards it causes tension and stress between team members and compromises the integrity of the interpreted message. In this activity current teaming strategies, interpersonal skills, and self-disclosure will be discussed as well as the results of a national teaming survey.
