Course focuses on simultaneously interpreting dialogues from American Sign Language to English and from English to American Sign Language. Interpretation begins before the source message is completed and continues while the source message continues. Students practice interpreting such events as telephone calls, meetings, and interviews. Opportunities to observe working interpreters are provided.
