Student and Novice Interpreter Workshop Series
Workshops in this series are designed for interpreting students and recent graduates. Workshops encourage active participation in small groups, and offer opportunities for feedback from the instructor. Participants will learn about skills, use technical language for discussing their work, and put theory into practice right away! All workshops are offered on Zoom. Students are expected to have their cameras on to maximize learning and engagement. All workshops are small to allow for full participation.
You Just Need Some SPACE!
Description: ASL uses space to express so many kinds of relationships: sequencing, contrasting, locational, and many more. This workshop will focus on the various uses of signing space, incorporating classifiers and constructed action, eye gaze, and the use of English cues that tell us what kind of space to use. Students will use visual cues and written materials to put theory into practice.
Conditionalization Structure
Conditionalization structure is taught in many early ASL classes, but it can be hard to identify the dependent relationships being expressed in English. This workshop will help students identify dependent relationships in English texts and give them tools for communicating those relationships clearly in ASL. Types of conditional structures will be discussed with equivalent ASL structures that can be applied. Students will use visual cues and written materials to put theory into practice.
