WARNING: This workshop addresses words that some may find offensive. This workshop is also English based and focuses on words or phrases young people use that we do not understand while we are interpreting. The focus is not only on vocabulary but also acronyms that you may have never seen. Also participants will learn about emoji’s that young people use that actually have meaning. We all experience seeing these things while working in educational, VRS, or Freelance settings. The problem is, what do we do with it? This workshop will focus on the importance of interpreters staying up to date on the current trends that young people use in language, the things they watch, what they listen to, or even use to socialize. Working with younger generations means understanding their world and being able to interpret effectively. The workshop is vocabulary driven, the origin of words is not the focus, nor are the signs. Rather, what do we do with words we do not know and how can we make sure the deaf client gets the information. The workshop allows participants to devise skills when going from English to ASL as well as working on the register needed to match their clients intended meaning. There is also a focus on skills such as: eye gaze, matching affect, register, and the overall expressive product.
