2020 GTC Journey Tracks for Hearing Interpreters
The March offering for the GTC Journey Track for Hearing interpreters is a course focused on translating ASL texts into English. The course will have active facilitation until March 31, 2020.
Workshop/Course Description
This online introduces the process of translation working between two languages with the ability to take the time to analyze, review, revise, and go through a Quality Assurance process. Effective translations fall on a continuum between literal and idiomatic and are created as part of a team that provides multiple perspectives. Learn what this looks like and how context and audience helps to determine how a translation should be crafted for different purposes. This workshop will guide you through a translation process and then support you in doing it on your own. Translation can be both a foundational skill that supports your understanding of language – as well as a useful skill to be part of your future practice.
Educational Objectives
Successful participants will be able to:
- describe the continuum of translations from very literal to unduly free;
- compare and contrast two processes for creating translations;
- identify the audience and context for translations;
- draft, revise, and polish translations of at least two ASL texts.
- compare and contrast translations to other participants’ work.
