The Spirit of Religious Interpreting Workshop

0.5 RID CEUs The Spirit of Religious Interpreting Workshop

This workshop will focus on two subjects, sermon interpretation and church song interpretation. We will review a sermon discourse and analyze its parts for ASL translation. We will consider ASL sentence types, ASL sentence structure, geography and spatial information based on horizontal and vertical form.

Church songs provide spiritual edification prior to a sermon. Hence we wish work with interpreters on ASL song interpretation. We will begin with a discussion on ASL sentence structure, affect, and facial information. We will be diagnosing portions of church songs, analyze them for content and ASL format, and then begin interpretation.

Participants will gain a working knowledge of techniques and self-assessment for religious interpreting of sermons and songs. All sign language interpreters are invited to register and attend.
