    Description
    In this course, students will continue to develop theoretical foundations, cognitive skills, and technical skills needed to begin interpreting for deaf and hard of hearing children and adults, from English to ASL, and ASL to English. This course focuses on comprehension, memory, acuity and discrimination, immediate repetition, delayed repetition, word-level pattern inference, phrase-level pattern inference, multitasking, fingerspelled word recognition, and comprehension of numbers, in both ASL and English. The roles, responsibilities, and ethics of interpreters providing interpreting services in various professional settings will be examined. Students may be required to complete assignments off campus.
