Code of Ethics for Language Professionals

Let's hear from Holly Silvestri and Loana Denis, founding members of the American Association of Interpreters and Translators in Education (AAITE), a non-profit professional organization that promotes advocacy, education, and professionalization for language professionals who work in educational settings.

In this interview, they discuss how important it is to raise awareness about the role of interpreters and translators who ensure language access to those students and families in the U.S. school system who have English as a second language. Most importantly, they talk about the creation of a Code of Ethics to guide professionals in this particular field, which is also closely related to the community, health, privacy, and legal fields.

We hope you enjoy this illuminating conversation and reach out to Holly, Loana, or the AAITE if you would like to learn more about translation and interpretation in the education segment.
