SERIES

ASL Storytelling I, II, III
(Beginning to Advanced)
Focus: Elements of the ASL story, Role shift, Eyegaze, Use of space, Characterizations, Classifiers, NMS integration.
Description: Students will gain both linguistic and practical hands on experiential understanding by participation in the telling of ASL stories. Embedded within these ASL stories is Deaf culture information. Students achieve this goal by learning the aspects of ASL storytelling including: role shift, eye gaze, characterizations, use of classifiers along with the general aspects of how to build a story in American Sign Language. Students rarely have the opportunity to tell these stories in ASL. The goal of this module is to gain these pertinent skills to self monitor for overall skill enhancement and a deeper understanding of ASL storytelling in all its aspects. The aim of fluency building for educational interpreters who work with young Deaf and hard of hearing children is to be clear, accurate and fluid. This will benefit the student seeking overall improvement of expressive ASL skills from introductory to advanced users of ASL.

Performance Interpreting I, II, III
(Stage Interpreting: Best Practices)
Description: Participants will gain both a theoretical and practical hands on experiential understanding of the challenges in music interpreting by exploring all aspects of performance interpreting. Embedded within the translation process are kernels of meaning that must be conveyed to Deaf and HOH consumers. How does the practitioner communicate this meaning if it originates in a low context manner juxtaposed against the high contextual nature of ASL? These cultural and linguistic questions will be explored within both a theoretical framework and a practical application.
