Gonzalez, The Study of Young Interpreters: Methods, Materials, and Analytical Challenges. Implications for Researchers and Practitioners. Challenges, Questions, and Opportunities. Nielsen Book Data Publisher's Summary This work is about bilingual young people who have been selected by their families to carry out the hard work of interpreting and translating to mediate communication between themselves and the outside world - between minority and majority communities.

Expanding Definitions of Giftedness

It examines the experiences of these young interpreters and the skills they develop in order to fulfil this role. The authors' purpose in the volume is to contribute to extending current definitions of gifted and talented, by proposing and offering evidence that the young people who are selected to serve as family interpreters perform at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience and environment, and should thus be included in the US federal definition of giftedness.

The authors maintain that not only are these capabilities overlooked by existing assessment procedures, but also that there is little understanding of the ways in which the unique talents of young interpreters might be nurtured and developed in academic settings.
