Course Description
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon completion of this course, students will be prepared to enter the work force as entry-level interpreters. Students will be able to:
- Work as a member of a team of interpreters
- Prepare for an interpreting assignment
- Determine consumers' language use
- Manage the interpreting process
- Provide accurate sign-to-voice and voice-to-sign interpretations
- Apply the RID Code of Ethics
- Behave in a professional manner
Course Activities and Design
Students will begin by observing the professional interpreter (mentor) at the placement site. During the second week of placement they will meet with their mentors and Deaf consumers to determine their readiness to begin interpreting.
Beginning with the third week of placement interns will, with the permission of their mentors and Deaf consumers, gradually begin to take over the interpreting responsibilities, beginning with a short section, and gradually increasing the time until they are fully responsible for the interpretation.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
On-site evaluation by Department Chairs and/or internship instructor. At least one Deaf and one hearing evaluator should be used. Weekly journals and other written assignments will also be evaluated, although interpreting skills evaluations will constitute the primary means of assessment. Students must earn a total of 99 hours for the course, of which 45 hours must be actual interpreting.
