Workshop Description:
Document Sight Translation is a new skill that all of us need to
practice.
This hands-on workshop will offer strategies for document
translation, with an added benefit of providing a foundation for
immediate text analysis.
Target level will be Intermediate to Advanced. Participants at other
skill levels are allowed to register and participate, but
instructional targets and workshop content will be at the
aforementioned level.
We may not think about it, but consider the following documents and
how each one could become testimony for the courts: medical history,
employment application, custody forms, guardianship forms, consumer
credit forms, signed affidavits, government forms, a Quicken program,
an e-mail that corporate accountants prepare are often used by the
corporate legal department for employee litigation cases.
The key to effective and efficient sight translation is to:
* Identify Demands and Controls in Sight Translating
* Incorporate ASL Expansion Techniques as much as necessary based on
the consumer?guage preference and bicultural/bilingual
familiarity.
* Self-monitor for any miscues or interference using Kohlbergs 6
stages of Moral Development
The workshop will offer practice opportunities to interpret documents
from disciplines such as: Education Law, IEPs, Medical Contracts and
Agreements, Consumer Rights, Employment Litigation, Custody,
Guardianship, Parental Rights, Divorce/Separation,
Wills/Trusts/Estates, Business Law, and documents used in court
proceedings to mention a few. The workshop is designed for sight
translation and includes court documents. Anyone who needs to
interpret documents, handouts, forms, contracts, or affidavits will
benefit from the techniques offered in this workshop.
For VRS interpreters – The presenters will also address questions
about how to deal with the translation of letter documents over VRS,
and related issues in VRS inherent to the uniqueness of the VP
compared with doing it live.
