Workshop Description: <\/p>\n
Document Sight Translation is a new skill that all of us need to
\npractice. <\/p>\n
This hands-on workshop will offer strategies for document
\ntranslation, with an added benefit of providing a foundation for
\nimmediate text analysis. <\/p>\n
Target level will be Intermediate to Advanced. Participants at other
\nskill levels are allowed to register and participate, but
\ninstructional targets and workshop content will be at the
\naforementioned level. <\/p>\n
We may not think about it, but consider the following documents and
\nhow each one could become testimony for the courts: medical history,
\nemployment application, custody forms, guardianship forms, consumer
\ncredit forms, signed affidavits, government forms, a Quicken program,
\nan e-mail that corporate accountants prepare are often used by the
\ncorporate legal department for employee litigation cases. <\/p>\n
The key to effective and efficient sight translation is to: <\/p>\n
* Identify Demands and Controls in Sight Translating <\/p>\n
* Incorporate ASL Expansion Techniques as much as necessary based on
\nthe consumer?guage preference and bicultural\/bilingual
\nfamiliarity. <\/p>\n
* Self-monitor for any miscues or interference using Kohlberg\u0019s 6
\nstages of Moral Development <\/p>\n
The workshop will offer practice opportunities to interpret documents
\nfrom disciplines such as: Education Law, IEPs, Medical Contracts and
\nAgreements, Consumer Rights, Employment Litigation, Custody,
\nGuardianship, Parental Rights, Divorce\/Separation,
\nWills\/Trusts\/Estates, Business Law, and documents used in court
\nproceedings to mention a few. The workshop is designed for sight
\ntranslation and includes court documents. Anyone who needs to
\ninterpret documents, handouts, forms, contracts, or affidavits will
\nbenefit from the techniques offered in this workshop. <\/p>\n
For VRS interpreters – The presenters will also address questions
\nabout how to deal with the translation of letter documents over VRS,
\nand related issues in VRS inherent to the uniqueness of the VP
\ncompared with doing it live. <\/p>\n
