when it is appropriate to use
consecutive or simultaneous
interpreting; utilization of both
methods.
Causes and types of errors in

the interpreting process: interpersonal,
intrapersonal, paralinguistic, and
environmental demands; preassignment, assignment, and postassignment controls.
Review and Application: expansion and
compression techniques,
contextualization strategies and
cultural mediation to produce
dynamically equivalent interpretations.
Analysis of the target audience in order
to match the target language of the
consumer(s): determine if interpreting
or transliterating would be appropriate
to use with various deaf and hard of
hearing consumers.
Effective team interpreting strategies:
collaborative and interdependent work
prior, during and post assignment.
Self-assessment techniques: create
detailed charts showing strengths and
weaknesses when interpreting.
English to ASL and ASL to English

Proposal Summary
Explain the purpose for this proposal:
The purpose of this revision is to update the schedule type, prerequisites, co requisites, course content, course description,
textbook, instructor information, and writing expectations in order to keep course content current with the field. The
schedule type is revised from field experience-lecture to lecture only. Although there is a field experience component, it is
not supervised and is considered an assignment, not a main attribute. This course is one of the foundation courses that
challenge students to incorporate interpreting skills at a more complex level. By the completion of the course, students will
be able to identify and integrate into their interpreting assignments and self assessments: 1. Effective use of processing
skills. 2. Effective English to ASL interpreting. 3. Effective ASL to English interpreting. 4. Critical analysis of interpreting
demands and the application of appropriate controls. 5. Detailed analysis of one’s interpreting performance. 6. 30 hours of
practicum observations.
