During this course you will predict paralinguistic demands each signed text will introduce based on topic. Meet a native signer who explains various topics related to social studies in sign language. Analyze the signing content for a variety of ASL features including use of space, non-manual markers, compare/contrast, and fingerspelling. Demonstrate an ability to identify such ASL features and explain their usefulness in enhancing an educational lesson. Identify specific fingerspelled words, non-manuals, or other signs embedded in the text. Explain the value of viewing specific educational topics to general educational interpreting and demonstrate application of one topic to another. Reflect upon suggested “just for yourself” activities which are not graded for CEUs but can lead to improvement in other interpreting skill sets.
