Are you looking for free practice resources to improve your skills as an Immigration Court Interpreter? Look no further!
Here's a valuable resource that I recently discovered: The Model Hearing Program by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
This program is an excellent resource for interpreters who work in immigration courts or are preparing to start working in this field. It provides a series of videos that can be used to learn how real-life hearings are conducted and to practice both consecutive and simultaneous interpretation.
The Model Hearing Program was developed by the EOIR and is freely available on the agency's website.
The videos in the program depict real immigration court proceedings, including a master calendar hearing, an individual hearing, and a mock record of proceedings, so you can see a sample of what an immigration case file looks like and much more.
The Model Hearing Program is a great tool for interpreters working in immigration courts. Whether you're new or experienced, these videos show you what really happens in court. They explain how things work and who does what.
Other free resources you can use for practice:
Overall, these are excellent resources for interpreters in immigration court careers. They provide a unique opportunity to observe what real-life court proceedings are like and practice interpretation skills in a low-stakes environment.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their skills in this challenging and rewarding field. Have fun learning!
