IT 202

Kapiolani Community College

IT 202 ASL/English Simultaneous Interpretation II (2)
4 hours lecture per week
Prerequisite(s): ENG 100; ASL 202 or equivalent; IT 201; or instructor's consent
Comment: This is an 8-week, modular course.
IT 202 builds on the knowledge and practices gained in IT 201 and focuses on a deeper understanding of the concepts and techniques required for accurate simultaneous interpretations. The processing skills and processing speed needed to clearly produce an equivalent message from one language to another across a variety of registers, situations, and discourse (monologic /narrative, dialogic/interview, and group) in this mode are developed through guided practice. Semantics, register, text analysis, process management, "demandcontrol",team interpreting, and feedback strategies as they pertain to educational settings and other venues are discussed and practiced.

Upon successful completion of IT 202, the student should be able to:
• Analyze source language texts for content, context, vocabulary, syntax, affect, cultural considerations, and register.
• Demonstrate intermediate level strategies for finding equivalent messages between the source and target languages.
• Demonstrate the ability to simultaneously interpret messages into the target language on lexical, phrasal, sentential and textual levels.
• Discuss various interpreting models and their simultaneous interpretations in both ASL and English.• Practice the Process Interpreting Model in a simultaneous mode.
• Apply the appropriate interpreting techniques (comprehension, representation, text analysis, discrimination,cloze, prediction, retrieval, expansion, compression, etc.) required for simultaneous interpretations.
• Interpret monologic/narrative, dialogic/interview, and group discourse at a level appropriate for a second year student.
• Discuss and demonstrate situations in which simultaneous interpretation is desirable and appropriate in educational and other settings.
• Discuss the changes in the educational interpreter's role based on grade level and situation.
• Discuss the "demands" evident in situations and the "controls" that are available to the interpreter to produce an effective interpretation.
• Participate in individual and small group activities that require preparation, vocal control, sign articulation, simultaneous interpretation, and teaming strategies.
• Provide structured feedback and evaluations to classmates during small group activities.
• Demonstrate expanded ASL and English vocabularies while working with materials drawn from K-12 classrooms.
