Course Description

Interpreting Process IV Increases simultaneous ASL to English and English to ASL interpreting skills. Focuses on individual areas of needed skill growth. Includes in-and out-of class interpretation practice sessions. Department permission may be required. Prerequisite: ITP 272.

Intended Outcomes for the course

  • Given a source language, produce a simultaneous interpretation of the complete text which meets the following criteria:
  • Each sentence must be complete and grammatically correct.
  • Each sentence must be equivalent to the signer's message.
  • All sentences must be congruent in light of the signer's intent and the message as a whole. Gish, S. (1993) Practice Guidelines, used by  permission.

Course Activities and Design

 Class time will be devoted primarily to simultaneous interpretation activities.

Outcome Assessment Strategies

Students will be evaluated through formal evaluations of ASL-to-English simultaneous interpretations and  English-to-ASL 
simultaneous interpretations.  Students will be expected to complete self-assessments of their own work.

Course Content (Themes, Concepts, Issues and Skills)


This course continues work on the skill of simultaneous interpretation of both English and ASL texts, including techniques for 
managing the process.  It reinforces the following topics from Interpreting Process I, II and III:

    • Achieving dynamic equivalence
       
    • Separating meaning and form
       
    • Analysis of context, purpose and register of both English and ASL texts
