Workshop/Course Description:
This training is designed to help interpreters improve their Sign to Voice interpreting skills by structured practice in a non-threatening environment. The difference in comprehending a signed message and voicing the message will be discussed. While participants will have an opportunity to practice comprehending signed messages during the workshop, the focus will be on accurate production of the message in spoken English. The importance of using conventional English sentences in the right register will be demonstrated by activities designed to emphasize the difference the voice interpretation has on monolinguals and bilinguals. Voicing strategies designed to help workshop participants convey the message in correct English grammar & syntax, deliver a coherent message, and choose appropriate English vocabulary and register will then be highlighted. Interpreters will work with a variety of materials, in both small groups and in large group settings, with the emphasis on improving ones skill, not on perfection. Strategies that can be used independently will also be discussed so that participants leave with a plan to continue developing their Sign-to-Voice interpreting skills.
