Prerequisites

INTR 103 with a minimum grade of D-

This lab focuses on receptive and expressive competence in ASL with particular attention to the application of numbering and fingerspelling in ASL and other features specific to the student's linguistic profile. In addition to fingerspelling and numbering, students select areas of focus based on self-analysis completed in INTR 204.

Student compares and contrasts the differences between ASL and English texts with attention to discourse markers, tense, pronominalization, role shifting, cohesion, coherence, topic shifts, nonverbal/non-manual behavior, affect and register.

Through application of the Demand-Control Schema, students explore and negotiate the contexts in which interpreting occurs, question roles and responsibilities, and address situational issues arising in mediated communication events.

In this course, students continue developing their professional portfolio with emphasis on evidence in Domain 4 (Interpreting Skills) and Domain 2 (Human Relations).

This lecture/lab course engages students in the development of consecutive interpreting skills, focusing on further development of processing skills associated with interpreting.
