Some moments ...

8/28/2015

 

Using the Flip video cameras for the first time

They were really impressed with how easy they are to use, both to film and upload video, and with the amazing quality of the film :)

The students playing the drawing game - competitive doesn't come close.

Local Deaf people who came to meet the English guy.  

After warm greetings we took the opportunity to film many of them introducing themselves.  These will become some of the training clips we use on the course. The videos have captured a huge range of signing styles, examples of placement, role-shift, characterisation, directional gaze, and directional verbs.  I'm very happy.

We also discussed their priorities for interpreting, they included: MANY MORE INTERPRETERS, especially in colleges (gateway to employment), health settings, presidential announcements (as that is how impromptu bank holidays etc. are announced), the TV news (they want to know what's happening in the world), and around voting (so they know who to vote for and why).

And then discussed interpreter's roles and 'rules'.  Evidential fuel for our session later looking at developing a collaborative code of ethics between interpreters and Deaf people.
