“Direct Communication”:
Using bicultural perspectives,
the workshop will address
cultural differences in deaf and
hearing discourse styles, and
how these distinct styles affect
the interpreter and the
interpreting process.
Specifically, the age-old issue
of directness vs. “bluntness”
will be addressed.
“Words, words, words…How about a
picture?!: In this audience
participation workshop, the
presenter will teach, with video
and pictures, how to convey
words, thoughts, and emotion
through pictures.
Participants, in small groups,
will be encouraged and supported
to open
themselves up to new ways of
conveying information visually,
with classifiers, and to
let go of the words they hear. |
