Resumo

O presente artigo sugere que a comunidade de educadores de intérpretes pode se beneficiar de uma colaboração com a comunidade especializada em medidas de avaliação em língua estrangeira, existente há mais tempo. Os princípios básicos adotados para a avaliação da habilidade da fala (ou competência comunicativa), desenvolvidos ao longo das últimas décadas, por especialistas e instituições envolvidas com medidas de avaliação em língua estrangeira, podem – e devem – ser adotadas para a avaliação de desempenho de intérpretes, principalmente em exames de alta importância, como os utilizados para a certificação, emprego em instituições internacionais ou formatura de programas educacionais. O conceito e alguns estudos relevantes a respeito da noção de qualidade em interpretação também são discutidos e sugere-se que possam auxiliar na elaboração dos construtos utilizados nas mencionadas situações avaliativas.
