Event Description:
This workshop provides sign language interpreters the opportunity to develop strategies for assessing the language and communication styles of Latine/Latinx Deaf consumers with whom they work. Identifying the Latine/Latinx Deaf consumers’ language usage, informational or experiential gaps, education, register, and linguistic style will help the participants make appropriate interpreting choices to match consumers. Why is it especially important to have Deaf interpreters involved in consumer assessment? In this workshop, interpreters will be provided with approaches for assessing consumer needs within the interpreting situation before and during the assignment, and strategies on how to make adjustments as needed.
Participants will:
-
Identify sign languages other than ASL, such as Cuban Sign Language, Mexican Sign Language, and the variations of ASL used in Puerto Rico that are used in the U.S.
-
Describe the importance of becoming familiar with the context, educational background, and experiences of the Latine/Latinx Deaf consumer that will impact the choices made in the interpretation.
-
List at least five (5) strategies used to effectively identify Deaf consumers’ language usage (e.g., use of foreign signs, mouthing Spanish, mouthing English, fingerspelling Spanish or English, native ASL skills).
-
Learn questions to ask in order to determine Latinx consumers’ background (i.e., which country they are from) before the assignment to properly prepare.
Target Audience: This workshop is designed for ALL knowledge levels.
