Interpreting

Most people think of fingerspelling in ASL to mean stringing letters together, as simple as A-B-C. But what many don't realize is that fingerspelling in ASL has a semantical structure, grammar, and rules. There actually are "rights and wrongs" when it comes to fingerspelling, knowledge that will benefit any interpreter in their work. The main objective of this workshop is to examine the meaning of signed expressions by exploring parts of speech in-depth, subsequently leading to the understanding that fingerspelling has a role in expressing correct ASL grammar.

DeeLayne Roark will be presenting this workshop. 

Taught by Keith Gamache Jr. this course allows participants to learn assessment
techniques in evaluating their own ASL skills on a depth level. It comes from a
SCSSFRFFM sequence that includes sign fingerspelling, fluency, and mechanics.
Participants will realize their area of strengths and weaknesses and use what they have
learned to improve on their skills.

CEU’s will be provided.

The event is free.

This event is limited to 40 people and may fill up fast.
