Language Interpreter Courses & Recovery After FAILING

We have a performance standard for all language interpreter courses that you must meet to receive your certificate of completion. Because we need to know that you can apply the concepts from class before we send you into the real world, where there are real-life, and very serious consequences for mistakes. Everything we discussed in class will be on the final exam. So as long as you were paying attention you should perform fairly well... But what happens if you enroll in our language interpreter school for healthcare settings, and you fail the fail the final exam?

Explaining Language Interpreter School & Our Final Exam

Language interpreter school is for the bilingual adults who want a career change. Specifically, one that builds upon the language skills they already have. At language connections, we have a variety of different courses for our bilingual adult students to choose from. So whether it's medical translating or working in public schools as an educational interpreter; we provide the tools with which language professionals build successful careers. Each language professional training course prepares students to pursue a specific path. Meaning that translator training only prepares students for a career as a professional language translator. So, what happens if you complete our translation and localization course only to realize you actually want to become an interpreter? You would have to enroll in our medical interpreter course to acquire those specific skills and trainings. They are different courses for a reason: they teach different subjects, skills and vocabulary.

3 Goals For Bilingual Educational Interpreters At School

Every public school has a procedure that evaluates students for special needs. And they are required by law to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that details what those special needs are, for each child. This law, unfortunately, doesn't apply to private schools. Which are very expensive, and private schools are the only ones that provide a dual language education program. So what about the students with an IEP who want to pursue a dual language education?

Become A Language Interpreter For School Children With IEPs

Become a language interpreter for school children and create a rewarding career as a bilingual adult. According to a 2021 report by the National Center for Education Statistics (NECS), 10.6% of United States public school students were English Learners (ELs). In other words, 5.3 million US students reported having a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) as of 2021. For context, there were roughly 50 million students were enrolled in public elementary school the same year. Some may look at the 5.3 million LEP student statistic and think "that's a small number in comparison to the total students enrolled, so who cares about the minority?" According to the 2022 U.S census bureau, that number of LEP students (5.3 million) is still higher than the entire population of South Carolina (5.1 million residents) as of 2022. It is also higher than the entire residents of Los Angeles, CA (3.9 million people). It's even higher than small countries like Costa Rica (5 million people) and Ireland (4.9 million people). All humans are born with the capacity for empathy. Because it is just like any other muscle we are born with... it must be exercised, or it could atrophy. So what can you do about the 5.3 million school aged students who can speak little to no English?
