Homeland Language Services is continuing to partner with Schools and Universities in the USA to Enhance Educational Access through Language Services

Homeland Language Services, a leading language interpretation, and translation services provider, is excited to present a transformative partnership with a diverse array of schools and universities across the United States. This strategic collaboration aims to address the growing importance of language accessibility within the educational sphere, offering comprehensive language solutions including onsite interpretation, remote video interpreting, over-the-phone interpreting, and high-level written translation services.

As educational institutions continue to diversify and welcome students from various linguistic backgrounds, the need for effective language communication tools has become paramount. In an era of increasing cultural diversity, educational institutions are becoming microcosms of global society. Students from various linguistic backgrounds seek education in the United States, making it crucial to ensure effective communication between students, parents, educators, and administrators. Homeland Language Services recognizes that language should never be a barrier to learning, and thus strives to provide tools that bridge these communication gaps.

The partnership between Homeland Language Services and prestigious educational institutions is a testament to the mutual commitment to excellence in education. The following schools and universities have embraced this collaboration within the last year.

  • Katy Independent School District
  • Morgan State University
  • Palm Beach County School District
  • San Jacinto Community College District
  • University of Houston
  • Brownsville Independent School District
  • Baltimore City Public Schools
  • Bridgeport, Connecticut Public Schools
  • Texas Northwest Independent School System
  • The California Department of Education (CDE) Special Education Program
  • Glendale School District
  • William S. Hart Union High School District

By acknowledging the significance of linguistic diversity and taking proactive steps to address it, Homeland Language Services and its educational partners are setting a remarkable precedent for the entire education sector.

 

Fostering Inclusivity with Onsite Interpreting

Homeland Language Services offers onsite interpreting services, enabling educational institutions to foster inclusivity and promote cross-cultural understanding. Whether in the classroom, during parent-teacher conferences, or at administrative meetings, the availability of professional interpreters facilitates clear communication, ensuring that all stakeholders are engaged and informed. American Sign Language Services are also avaliable for any School or University.

 

Adapting to the Virtual Classroom with Remote Video Interpreting

The digital transformation of education has introduced new challenges in maintaining effective communication. Homeland Language Services addresses this by offering remote video interpreting solutions. Through these services, educators and students can engage in real-time, face-to-face interactions regardless of their physical location, thereby creating an interactive virtual classroom environment that embraces diverse linguistic backgrounds.

 

Immediate and Accessible Over-the-Phone Interpreting

Urgent situations demand immediate communication, which is why Homeland Language Services provides over-the-phone interpreting services. This allows educational institutions to seamlessly connect with on-demand interpreters, ensuring that timely and accurate information reaches students, parents, and staff, regardless of the language spoken.

Empowering Administrators and Students with Written Translation Services

Administrative tasks and student communication often involve the dissemination of important information in written form. Homeland Language Services offers high-level translation services, making administrative documents, academic materials, and communications accessible to individuals who speak different languages. This empowerment eliminates language barriers, enabling all parties to fully engage with the educational experience.

Remembering and Honoring: Memorial Day – A Tribute to Our Heroes

On May 29th, we come together as a nation to pay tribute to the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the armed forces. Memorial Day holds a special place in our hearts at Homeland Language Services, a time when we reflect on the profound significance of this solemn observance.

Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to honor and remember the brave individuals who have served our country while reflecting on their sacrifices. This day is a great honor for our team as well. Our leader, COO & Co-founder Ernesto Lanazca is a veteran of the US Army. He enlisted in the US Army in August 2000.

With his wealth of experience and deep appreciation for the values that Memorial Day represents, Ernesto provides us with a unique perspective on the true meaning behind this national holiday. Join us as we dive into an inspiring conversation that sheds light on the sacrifices, patriotism, and gratitude that permeate the essence of Memorial Day.

Ernesto, in your opinion, what are the main values Homeland Language Services is bringing to the market as a Veteran-Owned Business? 

As a US ARMY Veteran, to this day, I’m still working under the Army Code Values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Services, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage.

At Homeland Language Services we treat each other as a big family, sharing the same values; work ethics, respect, clear communication, teamwork spirit, trust in each other, accountability, and the commitment to meet the same goals.

How can language services affect the daily life of veterans and their families?

The United States of America is one of the few countries in the world to have enlisted US Citizen soldiers with different backgrounds, ethnicities, and religious beliefs, creating a multicultural military community with ESL status.

This situation creates a need for Interpretation & Translation Services to assist the military’s family members to interact within their military bases.

Our company has a wide range of language services. What is your favorite service and why?

Our company offers a wide variety of Interpretation and Translation Services for more than 120 languages worldwide through Video Remote Interpreting (VRI), Onsite Interpreting, and Over-the-phone interpreting (OPI). My favorite service is Onsite interpreting.

Many clients appreciate the presence of an onsite interpreter. During a conversation, the interpreter can see the speaker and the other party and can read the body language of the two people. The interpreter can see if the client shows signs of confusion or difficulty in comprehending the instructions and needs further clarification. Reading body language is very important for effective communication, especially when they feel shy or intimidated due to their lack of proficiency in the language.

However, one of the big disadvantages of onsite interpretation is the lack of time and resources. There are instances when an interpreter is not available. This is the advantage of OPI over onsite interpreting services. Onsite interpreters normally have higher hourly rates.
