The importance of peer feedback and self-assessment is widely recognised in teaching and learning and benefits include: promoting analytical and critical thinking skills, students’ active participation in the learning process, promoting a collaborative model of teaching and learning, students’ responsibility and autonomy, to name but a few. However, their beneficial character can also be observed in public service interpreter training. The aim of the pilot study conducted among trainee interpreters (MA students) of public service interpreting course was to examine interpreting quality and compare positive (strengths) and negative aspects (weaknesses) of trainee interpreters’ performance identified by them by means of peer feedback and reflection (self-assessment). The trainees participated in simulated public service interpreting sessions and later were asked to reflect on their own as well as their peers’ performance. As seen from data analysis, there are discrepancies between peer feedback and reflection in the perception of students’ strengths and weaknesses and a negative trend can be observed in the case of reflection.

Community interpreting is viewed as interaction, trialogue and intercultural communication where the interpreter does not merely act as a conduit but is an active participant. The paper also presents the results of a questionnaire addressed to the immigrants residing in Poland on the status of community interpreting in Poland, as well as the roles and competencies of a community interpreter. Not only did the study provide an invaluable insight into immigrants’ perspective but also confirmed the author’s opinion that community interpreting is still neglected and marginalized in Poland.

The intention of this chapter, which reviews literature on investigative interviewing as well as public service interpreting, is to identify and illustrate shared principles and behaviour between both participants of the communicative event (i.e., interviewers and interpreters) suggesting that both of them work towards the same goal – obtaining best evidence, and also to argue that it is through professionalism, awareness and understanding, cooperation and trust (PACT) that they can achieve it.

This interdisciplinarity is well reflected in the range of topics covered and research questions asked. From the interplay of interpreting and linguistics to the interplay of interpreting and psychology, to mark quite arbitrarily only two distinct epistemologies, and hence distinct methodologies.
“This volume is an excellent addition to the Interpreting Studies literature. The cutting-edge research presented by a wide range of international experts demonstrates the strength of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of interpretation. The volume will be of great benefit to educators, students of interpreting as well as experienced practitioners.” – Robert G.
