“A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words: The Art of Role Play in
Interpreting”
Many interpreters rely heavily on a lexical approach to interpreting
from ASL to spoken English. The result is a flat, rather
two-dimensional interpretation missing the depth and texture of the
original message. One approach to building a more linguistically
accurate as well as dimensionally appropriate interpretation is to
include the techniques of role play and direct discourse. This
six-hour workshop is designed to introduce these two interpreting
techniques, provide activities demonstrating how the techniques are
used, and provide opportunities for independent practice and
implementation of these techniques. Participants will work in small
groups, pairs, and individually working with both printed and audio
text that will allow experimentation with role play and direct
discourse. Participants will be able to ask questions and gain
feedback from presenters and fellow participants in a safe
environment, and will learn principles that will help them apply what
they learn in this workshop to their work.
