MIRID Fall Conference "Making your Interpretation Sound Like A Source Presentation" Presented by: Carolyn Ressler, MA, NIC Master, SC:L, CI/CT What makes an interpretation sound like naturally produced speech? As interpreters we often focus on issues of message equivalency and content accuracy in ASL to English interpretations while not thinking about to the naturalness of our English product. This workshop takes a close look at what goes into making an English interpretation sound more like an original speaker initiated utterance. To do this, participants will be guided through a process of understanding the situational factors that impact a communication event. Various tools and strategies will be explained that allow for a natural spoken English delivery. Issues of prosody, speaker background, situational context, register, speaker and audience goals will be examined. Common and predictable phrases and communication contexts will be identifi ed and pre-determined equivalent scripts will be discussed and developed. Strategies for making repairs in the English interpretation sound natural and mid-interpretation repair strategies will also be discussed. Tips and tricks of the trade will be shared and practiced in guided hands-on (voices-on!) activities. Come ready to learn some new theories, approaches and then put them into immediate practice in a safe learning environment. 8:30am to 5:00pm Kalamazoo Valley Community College Texas Township Campus Lower Level Room 8580 6767 West O Ave. Kalamazoo, MI 49009 Cost: $60 Members/$40 Students/$80 at door For more information: http://www.mirid.org |
