Interpreting During Language Arts Time
Dr. Deborah Cates, Ph.D., Sign Language Program Coordinator, Iowa School for the Deaf

Dr. Seuss. Say his name and interpreters will cringe at the thought of interpreting his literary works. Language arts material is notoriously difficult to interpret...but it doesn't have to be. Language arts lessons, like any other lessons, are driven by specific goals. Awareness of those goals coupled with an understanding of the linguistic needs of the client will enable interpreters to make sound decisions while interpreting language arts materials. In this workshop, interpreters will learn about the process of learning to read at different levels of text. They will learn strategies for interpreting texts based on both instructor goals and client language needs, and will have an opportunity to practice applying these strategies.
