On August 20, 2022, the 10th Asian Interpreting Symposium was held on Zoom. This year's
symposium topic was first-to-second language direction interpreting from the perspectives of the
interpreting market and education. The term “B language” in the title refers to an interpreter's
second language as per the AIIC. Interpreting as an academic subject is unusual in the sense
that research can directly be applied not only to work in the market, but to education as well.
Therefore, the exchange of opinions was not limited to theoretical issues, but was highly
practical. Also, as most of the presenters were active conference interpreters and teachers,
presentations were given in fluent, natural English. This notable feature of this conference was
linked with the observation of one of the realities of the Asian interpreting market, which is that
there is a considerable amount of interpreting in the English direction.
