With a framework for acquiring vocabulary (the glossary), an understanding of the dangers of faux amis (through research), and being regularly obliged to use their EN/TL language skills (in a scripted role-play), students have ample opportunity to use the TL. minimise stress and maximise inclusivity; build confidence in performing the interpreters role and in speaking, generally; allow them to understand the interpreting process reflectively from three angles; involve risk-taking (in a safe environment) which can be fun/exciting/challenging; can have a positive impact on students well-being and awareness of health issues; improve knowledge of vocabulary including specialised vocabulary; serve to help prepare students for their term/year abroad. The EN-TL model ensures that the TL (French, in this case) is correct, idiomatic, and suited to the level. A potentially more attractive alternative whilst prey to the same issues as in having two teachers play the roles is to involve real service providers. %PDF-1.3

In writing the scripts, the tutor can ensure a balance between content that is relatively easy to translate and material that may prove more challenging. For example, the impersonal French structure (Jai mal la jambe, I have pain/ache in the leg) in contrast with the English structures: My leg hurts, Ive (got) a pain in my leg. 99 No 5 (1999), 275-76.

There is also the ethical issue of confidentiality to overcome where would these real-world recordings come from? the EN patient can focus on playing the patient, has also to listen to the doctors TL, and so can assess the quality of interpreting; the TL doctor can read the script in French, focusing on pronunciation and delivery, but also has to listen to the patient for information, and is thus able to assess the quality of interpreting; the interpreter is guaranteed to hear good quality language to interpret (both EN and TL) for a doctor and patient who will be listening to and not following on the page what is being said.

But improvisation and Theoretical Theatre (in the form of unscripted role-play) are innovative and experiential teaching formats that could work well, with appropriate training and introduction (see Seyfang, Hargreaves, & Lorenzoni, 2017). If writing scripts is a tutors preferred choice for reasons of time, space, money, logistics, practical organisation, and in view of different students needs and capacities another question presents itself: how should the scripts be presented? Students are encouraged to seek clarification when they have not understood/heard something or if their notes/memory mean that they have forgotten something.

Humour as we know is difficult (and sometimes impossible) to translate. 
I teach French-English and English-French translation and interpreting (currently at Montclair State University in NJ, USA) and also work as a community interpreter in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. For example, the highly technical arcade sourcilire (superciliary arch, supraorbital arch/ridge) is used commonly in France. This helps them to produce language that is appropriate, authentic, and meaningful in context. Thus, perhaps the most famous ( I feel like a pair of curtains Well, pull yourself togther.) was rejected, as the English idiom has no obvious equivalent in French. Students quickly learn the importance of paraphrasing if only to save face. In IPTI, the mode of community interpreting (see below) is used: most scenarios involve a GP and a patient. They came up with a series of textbook (The Medical Interpreter, Healthcare Interpreting, The Community Interpreter), and while their scripts are mostly intended for situations involving Spanish to English translation, they are a wonderful source of scholarship for anyone teaching community interpreting. Rudvin, Mette & Tomassini, Elena, Interpreting in the Community and Workplace: A Practical Teaching Guide, (Palgrave & MacMillan: London, 2011).

The fact that different triads perform the same (scripted) role-plays in the same seminar/session is also beneficial when it comes to feedback and discussion. [i] In this article, we shall look at the rationale behind the use and form(s) of role-play in the teaching of interpreting. For example, is it more realistic, and/or more beneficial for student learning, for the GP and patient not to be able to see each others lines? All the conversations are based on original real-life scenarios.

In everyday English (and at the GPs), this is simply the eyebrow. 59 Issue 2 (2014), 103-110. The context of CI is one to which all students can relate. Some of my role-plays are set in the UK, so the doctors role is in English and the role of the patient (whether a francophone tourist or asylum-seeker) is in French. [ix] I have experimented with a translation of Ionescos La Cantatrice chauve (The Bald Prima Donna). For example, in one scenario, the English-speaking patient says, Thats a relief, doc! 2022 University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT. Another ideal involves two teachers who act as if they really need the services of the student interpreter (Sandrelli, 2001: 173-96). Students make more of an effort to avoid word-for-word translation (especially TL>EN) in an interpreting setting with their peers than they would in writing. 
Another solution is to teach students that refusing to interpret is a perfectly acceptable choice (see Hale, 2007: 150-51 & 157). We included some common medication names in this role play book.

Through practice (of speaking and listening), students learn where their TL weaknesses lie: whether in certain aspects of grammar (for example, choice of tense) or, more generally, in their ability to paraphrase (through re-formulation, re-structuring, or translating phrase function rather than structure see Armstrong, 2005: 120).
