Description
Do you worry about forgetting what speakers say or sign? What if there was a different way to approach the work? What if you didn’t have to try to capture source texts in your short-term memory (a task for which it is not well suited) but rather could let the understanding of the message—based on perceived speaker goal and affect—inform your decisions in creating target texts?
Such an approach is possible! Highly skilled, effective interpreters employ it everyday in their ASL-English interpreting work, and you can too!
Based on my studies of the Integrated Model of Interpreting (widely known as the Colonomos Model), participants will work collaboratively to understand source messages and create interpretations based on speaker goal and affect (intention) rather than the speaker’s words or signs (retention). We will also practice ways of discussing our work using non-evaluative language.
Topics we will cover
- Practice analyzing source texts to determine speaker goal
- Collaboratively create effective interpretations based on analysis of speaker goal
- Learn a method for analyzing target text products
- Practice discussing target text products (interpreters’ work) using non-evaluative language
