Workshop Information:
Workshop is designed to assist anyone from the newbie, ITP students, transliterators, interpreters who want to become more “ASL,” to any interpreter who wants to interpret in a manner more as a Deaf person would convey information. Learn how to take a closer look at the work you do, and then how to improve from your current level. We will take a look at some of the most common errors in interpreting, and discuss effective strategies for improving upon them. This is also a beneficial workshop for someone preparing for the BEI, NIC, or EIPA, or for someone wanting to achieve a better score.
Some of the strategies, theories and concepts discussed and demonstrated will include: English-to-ASL expansion techniques, back translation, ASL sentence types, effective use of processing time, use of space, non manual markers, levels of processing (Lexical, Phrasal, Sentential, Contextual/Conceptual), equivalence versus dynamic equivalence, chunking strategies, etc.
