Free Workshop! “A day with Crabtree” at Texas A&M University
Come spend the day with Crabtree Interpreting at Texas A&M University for back to back workshops: “A look at interpreting into English”, and “A Study in Ethics”. CEUS APPROVED!
Workshop 1: Often referred to as “voice” interpreting, ASL to English interpreting can seem a daunting task. However, spoken language interpreters and translators most often work from their working language(s) into their native tongue, for a vast majority of ASL<>EN interpreters this would be ASL into English. Nevertheless, a phobia pervades the interpreting community and training programs alike. How can one overcome this fear? This workshop will guide participants through the basics of becoming comfortable speaking English in the presence of peers. Each participant will also gain valuable insight into their skills and feedback with what is needed to improve their skill-set from peers and the presenter.
Workshop 2: The Code of Professional Conduct provides guidance for working interpreters in decision making throughout the course of their work. Nonetheless, interpreters encounter many situations which can only be referred to as “sticky”. Interpreters seeking assistance when facing those situations find that many qualified and experienced interpreters will arrive at varying conclusions using the very same Code of Professional Conduct to justify their reasonings. How then can interpreters know that they have arrived at the correct decision? Social media has provided a wonderful platform for us to learn from each other and a place in which one can feel completely crushed because of these divergent responses.
