efsli Spring school 2017
“The Role and Status of Deaf Interpreters”
From 24th to 26th March 2017
In cooperation with
The Slovenian Association of Sign Language Interpreters ( ZZTZSZJ)
The efsli school will explore the role and status of Deaf interpreters as well as Deaf-Hearing interpreting teamwork.
ABSTRACT:
Deaf-Hearing interpreting team workshop provides the rationale, theories, and practices. Learners will engage in dialogue on justification for teaming and the critical roles and contributions of team members in achieving full communication access. Learners also explore and practice effective teaming strategies. Teamwork involves advance preparation and collaboration to manage and adapt to the needs of interpreted interactions, to gain closure post assignment, and to apply new understandings to future interactions. Learners gain a greater understanding of the importance of Deaf interpreters’ successful teamwork with interpreter colleagues, both Deaf and hearing.
