Introduction to ASL / English Interpretation (CLAC 0.5)
LANG 233
Fall 2023
Section: 01  
Crosslisting: CGST 233

Having completed course work in Beginning ASL l, Il and Intermediate I, II, students who have demonstrated a strong interest in continuing their studies at a more sophisticated and challenging level may find this course work interesting pursuant to becoming a professional, credentialed Sign Language Interpreter.

This experience will provide students with a working knowledge of the profession of interpreting including the Code of Professional Conduct, certification criteria, the roles and responsibilities of a professional interpreter and discussions of the role of the interpreter in a variety of professional settings including educational, medical, legal, the performing arts, counseling, and rehabilitation.

Students who attend this course demonstrate that they are able to express in ASL, with some confidence, routine and everyday experiential topics within a conversational format with some elaboration. They demonstrate clear and accurate signing and fingerspelling at a moderate rate of speed.

This coursework uses a process-oriented approach for applying the essential cognitive strategies for interpretation. These strategies include organizing and manipulating visual images, analyzing message for meaning, and self-monitoring for message accuracy. This experience serves as a transition from language learning to beginning interpretation.
