Tesaříková, Daniela ; Hynková Dingová, Naďa (advisor) ; Petráňová, Romana (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis "Interpreting for the Deaf at Czech Universities" maps out the current situation of providing interpreters at universities, and it describes ways of providing and problems encountered by responsible support centres. It consists of two parts. The first part is theoretical and it describes legislative measures concerning interpreters in the operative legislation in the Czech Republic, it further gives an overview of support centres assisting students with disabilities at individual universities which stress providing interpreting services to students, and it finally focuses on two university programmes of study intended primarily for deaf students where interpreting is taken for granted. The second part is practical and it includes research conducted as a questionnaire inquiry. The research focuses on opinions of deaf university students about the level of provided interpreting and their personal experiences with and opinions about interpreting provided during their studies. The thesis describes the results of the research and adds suggestions about possible solutions to the given problematic situations. Keywords: Czech sign language interpreter, sign language, interpreting, deaf students, university, support centre for students with special needs, legislation.
