Workshop Description:
In this workshop, we will discuss how interpreters can best support the language development and overall communicative growth of Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in the classroom. We will review and identify the key differences of language development between students who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing and those who can hear. Language considerations such as fingerspelling, non-manual markers/signals, classifiers, working from American Sign Language to English and English to American Sign Language, visual support, and expansion techniques, and more will be addressed in this presentation! It is essential to recognize that sign language interpreters play a crucial role in supporting and facilitating comprehension, vocabulary development, as well as reading/writing fluency. In this workshop interpreters will be afforded opportunities to learn and adopt strategies, tips, and methods of enhancing language development among Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.
Educational Objectives:
1. Learn and understand the language developments of hearing students vs Deaf/hard of hearing students and how they differ.
2. Discuss and share tips and strategies that will support language development of Deaf/hard of hearing students.
3. Understand how sign language interpreters can support language development in the classroom.
