Role of the Interpreter
• Never a tutor or help with homework• Not talk to each other about students, teachers, or
assignments • “To facilitate communication, independence, and integration”
(Humphrey and Alcorn, p.359)
• Neutral• Confidential• Educate about difference in cultures, but not while interpreting• Position in class
“Variability in communication styles cannot be underestimated or undermined” (Seal, p.171)
![Page 13: Educational interpreting in Post-Secondary settings](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c213ca4a79598f618b45d9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“The language variation that arises as a consequence of contextual and
situational diversity is the biggest consideration for working
interpreters, as they must be prepared to adapt their language
use accordingly.” (Napier, p.282)

Interpreter effectiveness
• Knowledge of subject leads to more accurate interpretations
• Understand discourse environment• Verbal descriptions of diagrams into ASL• Clarification of sign
“Optimal interpreting should involve communication use that allows the student to fully participate in classroom discussions as well as to attain a comfortable, personal level of involvement with others in the classroom” (Stewart and Kluwin, p.30)

Interpreter Reflections
• Always use lag time• Flexibility is key• Be prepared to change the way you signed or
voiced something it’s not because your Deaf client is Dumb
• Your job is to provide a service• Attitude and personality effect the Deaf
person
![Page 16: Educational interpreting in Post-Secondary settings](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c213ca4a79598f618b45d9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Interpreter Reflections
• Most interpreters start at the undergraduate level• You are not always Interpreting for the students
(Deaf teachers or administrators)• It’s important when possible to intern and team
interpret• Be familiar with VRI• You have to be on time and willing to do your job!

Student Reflections: Mainstream
• Built relationships with others• Drew attention• Focus on the work, not the lecture• Videorecording would be helpful• CART • Had notetaker and access to professor lecture
notes• Need to interpret word-for-word, with some help
with English if needed
![Page 18: Educational interpreting in Post-Secondary settings](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c213ca4a79598f618b45d9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Student Reflections: Deaf School
• Had notetaker and access to professor lecture notes
• Videorecording would be helpful, but time consuming
• Good experience if you understand Interpreter if you don’t, ask for clarification
![Page 19: Educational interpreting in Post-Secondary settings](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c213ca4a79598f618b45d9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Interpreter effectiveness:Student perspective
• Pace of interpreting• General intelligence of the interpreter• Selecting appropriate signs• Perform reverse interpretation• Adjust to situation-specific interpreting• Manual dexterity, hand coordination• Interpreting etiquette• Physical positioning• Prefer competency in subject matter
![Page 20: Educational interpreting in Post-Secondary settings](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c213ca4a79598f618b45d9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Interpreters should be:
• Patient • Confident• Aggressive when it
comes to a student needing to ask a question
• Be open minded to accept feedback
• Be adaptive to new situations quickly
• Good communicator• Experts in mental imagery
(visualization)• Able to make cultural
adjustments (example)• Good concentration• Short-term memory• Target language

Guidelines for miscues and errors
• External monitoring• Appropriate competence in Target langauge (tL)
and Source language (sL)• Maintain sufficient lag time to reduce• Consecutive interpreting less errors than
simultaneous interpreting• Determine strategies to correct errors in advance • Check student comprehension• Self-evaluation
