"Interpreters have long sought a clear program for research into their discipline. As sign-language interpreting is a relatively new field, little has been done to create an international agenda for research-based practice. This book addresses this important need. It offers a broad look at the current research on interpreting and interpreter education, with a special focus on educational interpreting. Intended for working interpreters, educators, students, and researchers, it is written to be both a reference and a textbook."--BOOK JACKET.
