During this workshop, the results of a research project on Deaf/Hearing teams were shared. Participants learned how hearing interpreters adjust their interpretations when working in a Deaf/Hearing interpreting team. Through the discussion of the findings, best practices in “feeding” spoken English messages were suggested with the goal of helping participants learn how Deaf and hearing interpreters can negotiate both the best “fed” and, most accurate final end-product interpretation. Information on how these teams can best prepare together to minimize obstacles and maximize team performance were also given.
A panel of four experienced interpreters, two CDIs and two hearing interpreters, described their experiences working in Deaf/Hearing teams.
Educational Objectives:
- Participants will be able to describe the differences between how hearing interpreters use eye gaze, pausing and head nods in direct verses fed interpretations.
- Participants will be able to identify difference in how fingerspelling and expansions are used in fed and direct interpretations.
- Participants will be able to understand how clarifications and corrections internal and external to the team to minimize skewing and omissions.
- Participants will be able to describe strategies for effectively pre-conference as a team before the interpreting task begins.
- Participants will be able to identify potential barriers to effective teaming.
