This course examines issues concerning communication through a particular focus on interpretation between court and medical interpreters and elderly people of different ethnic and linguistic backgrounds.
The human rights of older persons is an issue that is beginning to garner international attention, partly as a result of the demographic importance of that population.
Elderly migrants who do not speak the official language of their host country have increased every year. This entails major challenges to ensure good communication and avoid communication barriers that can be overcome by the use of adequate interpreter services.
In order to explore interpreter practice in the context of multilingual elderly environment, it is important to consider organizational framework and cultural competence, cultural knowledge, and beliefs.

Many interpreters in California who already attended our “Voice Care for Interpreters” class have been experiencing the benefits of participating in this continuing education seminar that we offer since 2013.
Also for those that already attended this course, this is a great opportunity for reinforcing the concepts we practiced in our previous sessions. Attendees taking this course for the second time, will get a certificate of attendance with a new course ID number under the name of Advanced Voice Care. In this workshop, we will enjoy vocal warm-ups, progressive muscle relaxation, intercostal breathing exercises, and our favorite part of the seminar: analyzing your voice in our recording studio. You will have the opportunity to analyze your voice in a recording studio as you play fun and educational activities with your colleagues.
