Event Description:
Course includes pre-coursework plus live webinar participation (3 - 5 PM EST). Participants are required to complete pre-coursework for each level prior to the live webinar. Registration will close at 3 PM EST on June 2 to allow for participants to have adequate time to complete the pre-course work.
Participants will connect live via web video with a strong broadband connection through your PC, laptop, iOS device (iPad/iPhone) or Android device. Device must have camera/audio/video capabilities. Once registered, information to access pre-coursework will be emailed. Connection details will be provided before each live event.
This workshop reviews and addresses technical and ethical challenges that may arise while practicing the skills taught in Foundations of Professional Interpretation in Health and Human Services (Level 1). Participants will engage in intense ethical problem-solving, basing their actions on the NCIHC’s National Standards of Practice for Interpreters in Health Care. Participants will learn the second phase of their plan of study begun in Level 1, which outlines how to write a fair role play, participate both as interpreter and active listener, rate an interpretation, and provide constructive feedback in a kind manner that is useful to the student for improving skills. Students who speak languages other than Spanish will write role plays in English and will interpret into their target languages if two or more students who speak that language are present. Parroting exercises in English will be utilized when only one student is present who speaks a language other than Spanish. Participants will practice positioning, transparency, memory building, replication of style and tone, and pre-session delivery.
*Note: Only individuals who have completed Interpreter Training Level I may attend and must have access to their Level I manual.
