Notes from Jason Goldstein's talk

For anyone who missed today's presentation from Jason Goldstein, here are a few notes.

ASL is Time-Topic-Comment

ASL Interpreters often work in education, legal, medical, entertainment, personal functions.

Signers are motivated to learn, take ASL classes, pass the ASLPI, gain conversational fluency, and are allies.

Models of interpreting: helper (very outdated), machine-conduit (old), bicultural-bilingual (old), language facilitator (yes!).

Goal: facilitate communication equally

Simultaneous interpreting - interpreter gets information at the same time as the consumer.

Not everyone grew up with the same communication experience.

Important to have a deaf heart
