FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 2008
 
“Metacognitive Analysis: Conceptual Accuracy (voice to sign)”
Beginner
Bonnie Gibson-Brydon
 
This workshop will focus on analyzing interpreting techniques that focus on conceptual accuracy. Participants will work in both a large forum and in small groups to develop techniques that can be used to produce a clearer interpretation for the Deaf audience. This workshop will incorporate the use of handouts, videotapes, and group discussion with hands-on practice in specific techniques. Additionally this workshop helps to define the rhythm of ASL, including stress and intonation, or the study of these patterns. Techniques learned and practiced in break-out groups will clarify and demonstrate for interpreters examples of simple prosodic skills, giving tools for the interpreter to break out of the ‘English’ mold and enhance their signing into a more conceptually accurate rendition.
