8/31/2015

 
  1. Introductions / intro to Culture / using the Flip cameras
  2. Presentations: Deaf people’s lives and challenges in the Gambia / Deaf Culture / Gambian Sign Language (GSL) as a developing language.
  3. Why communicate?  Why interpret?  What is the main purpose for an interpreter?
  4. Meeting with GADHOH trustees.
  5. Meeting with local Deaf people - what do Deaf people want from interpreters?
  6. GSL as a Visual language / SL to English continuum.  (This has been their favourite session so far).
  7. Why need linguistic knowledge?  What is an interpreter?  How do you get the interpreters’ role, principles / code of ethics / code of practice to reflect Deaf & hearing people and interpreter views?
  8. GSL and interpreting – what Deaf people would like interpreters to know. 
  9. English Linguistics / Text analysis / Register & Language style.
  10. Sign Language Linguistics

We also now have 40+ videos of 20+ Deaf people using GSL, a number of those videos also having live simultaneous interpreting, and video of the interpreters working into GSL.
