Interpreting in International Settings and International Sign

With Nigel Howard

Saturday, October 13, 2007

8:45 am – 4:30 pm

This workshop will focus on the specialized interpreting needs of individuals who attend international conferences. Discussion will cover International Sign (IS) as a form of communication and basis for a visual language,and strategies used by IS interpreters to produce effective interpretations in international conference settings. Participants will examine communication needs and preferences, modifications required for effective interpretation, and additional interpreter responsibility to convey visual-gestural and conceptual information. Emphasis will be on developing the ability to think in pictures and build expressive and receptive communication skills. Participants will be given the opportunity to explore IS vocabulary and practice basic IS interpreting skills.

This workshop will be presented in ASL. Interpreters will not be provided.
