ASL 2006 - Advanced ASL for Interpreters


Credits: 4

Semantics and culture impact sign/word choice and syntactic structures when interpreting between English and American Sign Language (ASL). In order to accurately convey the message, interpreters must understand semantic and cultural influences on both the target and source languages. By analyzing semantic accuracy/cultural nuances and by employing discourse strategies, students will expand their expressive and receptive skills for both ASL and English. Students will employ these expanded skills to accurately interpret prepared texts between English and ASL.

Prerequisite: ASL 2002 , ASL 2005 , AND INTR 1001 , all with a ‘B’ or higher, AND permission of the Program Coordinator.
