AB - Korea has seen a large influx of marriage migrant women following a dramatic surge in international marriages in the early 2000s. Multiculturalism has emerged as an important issue in the Korean society, which led to the legislation of the Multicultural Family Support Act in 2008. Based on such legislations, the government sought ways to facilitate social integration in a multicultural society and recognized that it was essential to provide language assistance for marriage migrant women who lacked Korean language proficiency. The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family of Korea started offering interpreting and translation services for marriage migrant women through T&I support staff at Multicultural Family Support Centers located nationwide. This paper provides an overview of the community interpreting and translation services for marriage migrant women and discusses recommendations based on a questionnaire-based survey of 204 T&I support staff, who are marriage immigrants themselves. The survey canvassed their perception of the service in general, their job satisfaction, professionalism, training and assessment, perception of the services performance and areas for further improvement.
