Event Details
Interactive interpreting is different compared to straight ASL to English or English to ASL. During interactive interpreting, interpreters do not have the time to formulate as they normally would. Processing time is usually much shorter in order to have a smooth flow in the conversation. This workshop takes a look at interactive interpreting and how the product changes when there are time constrictions. We will also focus on how to make sure turn taking is happening and techniques to use when the overlap starts to occur. Interpreters are asked to bring a device to record themselves as they will not only be discussing interactive interpreting, but they will also record their own products and have an opportunity to analyze that product in small groups if time allows.
Educational Objectives:
•Interpreters will demonstrate knowledge of interactive interpreting
•Interpreters practice skills to improve voicing register when working with clients in an interactive situation
•Interpreters will demonstrate skills needed to produce an ASL product that includes an understanding of the English equivalency.
•Interpreters will acquire the skills necessary to improve their own product through practice during the workshop.
