South Korea is undergoing a demographic shift due to an influx of foreigners which include short-term visitors, migrant workers, marriage migrants, expatriates, and foreign students. To cater to the language needs of foreigners, a number of Korean government and public agencies are providing community interpreting services. This paper provides an overview of interpreting services, including language services, which are offered in a relatively systematic manner. Based on face-to-face and telephone interviews with managers of community interpreting services provided by seven government and public entities in South Korea, the study compares the objective, history, structure, and the function of the seven agencies’ services and also the management of interpreters as well as community language staff, including remuneration and training. This paper then discusses common issues with respect to the current community interpreting services in South Korea and proposes improvement measures for the sake of more systematic and professionalized community interpreting services.
