Sign language interpreters are increasingly requested to work into and from English as nonnative speakers. A variety of suggested coping strategies will be discussed in order to match
these demands. In addition, the training covers the following aspects in a combination of
theory and practice:
− Third language interpreting
− Interpreting in international settings
− Team interpreting
− Hands on practice
During the practice sessions participants will work from spoken English to Swedish Sign
Language and vice versa. Participants are requested to bring video material in their national
sign language.
Participants are required to have extensive experience as a sign language interpreter in
national settings and have worked in international settings as well. They should be confident
in English (minimum of B2 level according to the CEFR framework) as an active and passive
working language.
Maya de Wit is an international trainer providing presentations and seminars on, amongst
others, cooperation between interpreters and consumers and sign language interpreting
techniques and skills for specific settings. She is a qualified Dutch Sign Language interpreter,
RID Certified ASL interpreter and International Sign Interpreter working in the Netherlands
and across Europe. In 201 1 Maya obtained her MA in the first European Master of Sign
Language Interpreting (EUMASLI).
