This
workshop will focus on how to convey an equivalent message from the source
language, English, to the target language, ASL, ensuring access to
linguistic and cultural information. Participants will be provided
hands-on opportunities to practice, and participate in discussions. There
will be times for questions & answers. We will watch and discuss
videotapes as well. Strategies will be discussed as how to effectively
represent an equivalent message in the target language. Educational
objectives include... conveying the source language accurately from
English to ASL, identifying and producing correct use of ASL structure for
the equivalency of meaning and concept. We will also identify the types of
strategies that enhance the clarity of the message.
ASL Immersion Weekend 2005 is open to anyone interested in American
Sign Language. This includes students of an
Interpreter Training or Sign Language Program, interpreters, families and
friends of D/deaf or hard of hearing individuals, and special education
teachers. ASL Immersion Weekend consists of 12 hours of workshop time inside
of a non-vocal Immersion Weekend! Angela’s workshop, as well as your
interaction with other participants throughout the weekend, will offer
plenty of opportunities to improve your receptive and expressive skills in
a relaxing retreat environment. Through exposure, participants will also
gain a deeper understanding of Deaf Culture and the Deaf community’s
language, ASL. The Immersion Weekend will be conducted without vocal
communication, and participants will communicate solely through sign
language and visual means.
Angela will perform
her comedy show for us on Saturday night!!!
