KAD Business Meeting
“The Art of Sounding Good in the Hot Seat” .3 CEU 3.0 SW
Theresa Richard, NIC Master As interpreters we are often most critical of our ASL to English work. The reasons for this may vary, but the fact remains that the majority of our training is often focused on ASL language acquisition and working from English to ASL. Thus we often haven’t devoted the time to develop our ASL to English interpreting skills. Well that time is NOW! In this session we will focus on strategies and techniques for putting out our best work. We will discuss what ASL intrusions are, how they appear in our interpretation, and how to avoid them. Great effort will be placed on making this session a safe place to practice our work. Participants will not be asked to interpret in front of the entire group, but will practice interpreting and discuss their work with a partner and then discuss their discoveries with the group. *Due to the nature of this workshop, it will be presented in English. |
