I suspect I got pissed cuz I didn't really have one and the underlying assumption was that you couldn't interpret without native-language-skills. I didn't like CODAs for a long time after that. What I have come to realize and what your posts indicate, is that it is language we are lacking. Thank you Lynne, mind your language. How in hell can you interpret if you can't see/hear/discriminate the language????<br /><br />You rock of course Faith.<br />carlaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928233734651718205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275177014735825062.post-81796049787969431372010-02-23T09:47:58.257-06:002010-02-23T09:47:58.257-06:00Awesome points, Faith.

The next step is being "catch" it all on first viewing.

It's a...Good going on this Faith!!! Two thing:<br /><br />It's all about language, I think that one goes first - if you come to this with faulty language (which we all have), it will impact your interpreting 100-fold! Mind your language first before even starting the business of working. We build on these horrible habits we have and it's difficult to unpack the layers of interpreting, language, interpersonal, and anomalous skills that lead to the interpretation when it is effective or flawed.<br /><br />Second, a friend - Pamela Whitney said something in a CD workshop she developed for me and it's true for language and interpreting "Know the end of your sentence before you begin it." Doing and teaching that ONE thing has meant the difference in some sentences that make no sense. <br /><br />Glad to see you have done this Faith, I'll have students read it!Lynne Wiesmanhttp://www.signs-of-development.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275177014735825062.post-12110922806840244242010-02-18T21:16:51.031-06:002010-02-18T21:16:51.031-06:00That #1 is a tricky step.

Before you start voicing, you...Sink or swim, baby!<br /><br />Before you start voicing, you should have lots and lots of practice conversing with deaf people and communicating in ASL. Good receptive skill is a MUST before you can even start trying to voice. <br /><br />I totally get what you're saying though.<br /><br />I'm a terp, and you're number one really made me laugh. I don't know WHAT is wrong with me lately, but I have been taking my eyes off the deaf person when I am interpreting interactively. Like, what the heck? I don't know why that is so hard. It seems simple, but no. I guess subconciously I don't want to freak the deaf person out by staring at them the whole time, but it sure makes effective communication difficult! Haha, thanks for the post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
