Course Description

Increases simultaneous ASL to English and English to ASL interpreting skills. Focuses on individual areas of needed skill growth. Includes in-class interpretation of live presenters, specialized topics and group discussions. Department permission may be required.

Intended Outcomes for the course

Upon completion of this course students will be able to:

  • given a source language text, 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 of live speakers and signers giving presentations which focus on their own areas of expertise. In addition to practicing simultaneous interpretation skills, this will afford students the opportunity to practice preparing to interpret specific specialized topics.
 

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)
