Deaf Interpreters Working With Hearing Interpreters
How do you team with a hearing interpreter? How do you decide the type of language the hearing interpreter should use to feed you?
Who explains the roles of Deaf/hearing team members to consumers?
What kinds of problems may occur and what strategies may be used to solve them?
These and other issues will be discussed in this workshop for Deaf interpreters and hearing interpreters who work with CDIs.
We will also use simulations (role-plays) to practice some of the techniques and solutions.
(Available in One or Two-Day Formats)
This workshop, open to people who have taken Foundations (any level), attempts to address this need. It is designed to focus specifically on the cultural, and linguistic tasks and decisions made to bring the message to its Target form. We will work from both ASL to English and from English to ASL.
The workshop format will primarily consist of hands-on practice, group activities and discussion.
