Language Clarity Techniques in Discourse: Looking at Language Expansion Features; Video... - 1 views
-
What:
Speakers use several different communication techniques to help their listeners follow the logic of the discourse (conversation, teaching, etc.), as well as to hone in on key points of the discussion. Like all languages, American Sign Language speakers (and interpreters) use strategies to assist with listener comprehension. In the literature these are frequently referred to as 'expansion features' (Lawrence, Finton, Smith, etc.). The goal of the training will introduce you to the types of expansions that can be used, as well as when to integrate expansions into your educational interpretations. When:

Techniques for Comprehending Fingerspelling and Nonmanual information; Video Conference... - 1 views
-
What:
Sign language users utilize fingerspelling for multiple purposes; interpreters need to be able to decode fingerspelling and have strategies for coping when the term cannot be decoded. In much the same way nonmanual information conveys information that adds to, or changes the meaning or intent of a term or statement. The goal of the training is to introduce interpreters to strategies and coping techniques that will enhance your receptive skills and, ultimately, improve your ability to deliver a more effective spoken English interpretation.
