CEUs: 0.2 PS
Presenter: Dr. Sabrina Smith
Presented in: Spoken English with Captions
Format: Archived Webinar
Have you ever been interpreting and heard the phrase “Mrs. Sabrina you be channeling the chucks!!!” or “I can’t believe he threatened to steal on her!!”. We all experience hearing slang working in the educational system, VRS, and freelance assignments. The problem is, what do we do with it? This workshop takes a look at slang that is used by the current younger generation and addresses the issue of what interpreters do when they hear these phrases. Working with younger generations means understanding their language and being able to interpret it effectively. This workshop teaches skills that help educate interpreters on current slang, how to interpret slang, and what to do when they are faced with unfamiliar terms.
Educational Objectives:
- Participants will be able to demonstrate knowledge of current slang used by the current school age generation.
