Language brokers refer to individuals, typically children or adolescents, who serve as interpreters or translators for their family members or community members who have limited proficiency in the dominant language. These language brokers often navigate complex situations, such as medical appointments, school meetings, or interactions with government institutions, providing linguistic and cultural support for their families. They play a crucial role in bridging the communication gap and facilitating access to various services and resources for their non-English speaking relatives.
