Classes I Teach

ASL3310: Introduction to Interpreting

This course is an introduction to bidirectional (ASL-to-English and English-to-ASL) interpreting between Deaf and nondeaf people. Upon completion, this course will help prepare candidates to take the Utah State and/or RID NIC written examination.

ASL3330: Cross-Cultural Communication and Interpretation

This course is a continuation of ASL 3310, but focuses more heavily on 1) interpreting with special emphasis on intercultural communication, and 2) the development of language understanding with respect to intercultural communication.

ASL3350: Consecutive Interpreting

This course introduces students to theory, skills, and processes required to produce consecutive interpretations and focuses on developing basic abilities required to interpret rehearsed and/or spontaneous texts.

ASL3360: Simultaneous Interpreting

This course focuses on transitioning students from consecutive interpreting approaches to time-limited simultaneous interpreting and continues focus on developing cognitive, semantic, and dual tasking abilities required to interpret spontaneous texts.
