Workshop Information:
This workshop deals with understanding your own ASL product and how to identify areas that need improvement. The workshop will allow interpreters to practice expressive interpreting with a focus on affect and accuracy in the interpretation process. The goal is to increase the participant’s expressive skills by giving them hands on practice then allowing them to go back over their original product and look for areas that need improvement.
The educational objective for this workshop is to teach the participants to be able to identify areas of weakness in their own product. In doing this they will be able to focus on those specific areas and improve on them. They will also learn how to understand the terminology that comes along with analyzing the interpreting process and how to apply it to feedback they get from test results.
