INTR — InterpreterThis lecture/lab course focuses on the analysis and application of specific parameters of ASL, such as: classifiers, nonmanual markers, Fingerspelling and numbers.Prerequisites: INTR 101 This lecture/lab course will increase the student's use of grammatical features of ASL, and introduce new grammatical features, such as the complex use of spatial structuring and register variations.Prerequisite: INTR 102 Focuses on the development of syntactic/semantic competence in ASL with particular attention to narrative discourse and lexical and semantic equivalents for multiple meaning English lexical items.Prerequisites: INTR 101 Investigates the structural properties of ASL including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse. Focus is given to how visual languages differ and are similar to spoken languages.Prerequisite: INTR 102, INTR 111 This course examines the work of interpreters from a variety of theories relating to role, function and process and provides an understanding of how these theories impact day-to-day interpreting work.Prerequisite: INTR 103.

Students examine definitions of culture and how identity and culture orientation contribute to conflict/contact in cross-cultural situations.Prerequisites: INTR 215, INTR 312, INTR 326 In this course, students continue developing their professional portfolio with emphasis on evidence in Domain 5 (Professionalism) and a review of evidence in all Domains.Prerequisites: INTR 325 This lecture/lab course engages students in the development of simultaneous interpreting skills, focusing on further development of the dual tasking skills associated with interpreting.Prerequisites: INTR 225 Focus is on the application of interpreting skills to a variety of texts involving variables that must be managed by the student as part of the interpreting process.Prerequisite: INTR 220 Continued focus on the application of interpreting skills with increasing difficulty based on the complexity of factors to be managed by the student as part of the interpreting process.Prerequisite: INTR 211 Coursework examines the settings in which interpreting occurs and engages students in the systematic analysis of factors impacting different settings through the lens of the Demand-Control Schema.Prerequisite: INTR 326 Students examine interpreting settings and shadow working interpreters for the purpose of further and deeper analysis of factors impacting different settings through the lens of the Demand-Control Schema.Prerequisites: INTR 211, INTR 330, INTR 320 This course engages students in an exploration of professional identity and becoming part of a profession, focusing on the application of ethical standards and practices to the profession.Prerequisites: INTR 112, INTR 311or certified member in RID or EIPA 4.0 or higher. This course focuses on supervision of interpreting systems. Students examine core skills shared by supervisors and analyze strategies that promote effective communication and resolve conflict in the workplace.Prerequisites: INTR 112, INTR 311or certified member in RID or EIPA 4.0 or higher. This course introduces the major theories and concepts of leadership and their application to the field of interpreting and explores the link between leadership, ethics, and values.Prerequisites: INTR 320, INTR 326 Continued focus on the application of interpreting skills with increasing difficulty based on the complexity of factors to be managed by the student as part of the interpreting process.Prerequisites: INTR 425, INTR 492 This class involves the completion of a detailed diagnostic assessment of students' work and focuses attention on improving five of the specific skills identified in the diagnostic assessment report.Prerequisites: INTR 211, INTR 220 This course introduces students to interpreting in the K-12 setting and provides an overview of public education and deaf education practices in the United States.Prerequisite: INTR 430 Course examines child development and the acquisition of a first language for both hearing and deaf children. Students gain understanding of children's growth and development and the role of language.Prerequisites: INTR 430, INTR 431 Students explore the framework that guides the educational process in our public schools (State Standards Curriculum) and to learning theories and learning styles which influence current instructional methods and trends.Prerequisites: INTR 431, INTR 432 This course investigates languages and communication modes used in public school settings, with a focus on those used by deaf students.Prerequisite: INTR 326 The focus of this course is on the nature and structure of interpreting within the general community, with particular attention to the work of freelance or agency-based interpreters.Prerequisites: INTR 425, INTR 440 This skills course focuses on community-based interpreting. Students engage in a range of skill development activities that increase interpreting competence in social service, employment, and medical settings.Prerequisites: INTR 440, INTR 441 Students engage in a range of skill development activities that increase interpreting competence in mental health, vocational rehabilitation, recreational, and performing arts settings.Prerequisite: INTR 425 Students will engage in range of skill development activities that increase interpreting competence as applied and delivered through distance technologies.This course will address the central issues of moral philosophy from the perspective of leadership studies. It seeks to identify and understand moral challenges that are peculiar to leaders.This course provides supervisors of interpreters, lead interpreters and/or mentors with a common system for conducting skills performance assessments.Prerequisite: acceptance into the Diagnostic Assessment Series or permission of the instructor. This course involves a detailed diagnostic assessment of student work for the purpose of identifying patterns of performance that need to be enhanced or improved towards the goal of more accurate and reliable interpretation from ASL to English and English to ASL. Students will be introduced to a system of discourse analysis intended to help interpreters achieve a greater degree of understanding of the meaning of various ASL and English texts. As well, students will learn a system of self-assessment and peer review and feedback. All students will engage in skill development activities related to semantic awareness and semantic equivalence as the foundation for continuing skill development related to additional patterns in the next two courses within the strand of study.Prerequisite: INTR 470. This course engages students in improving three of the specific skills identified in the students’ Diagnostic Assessment report from INTR 470 through a series of guided learning activities supported by practice activities, online discussion, periodic self-assessment, peer review, and feedback. Students will explore a variety of resources available for engaging in skill development and utilize selected materials as part of practice activities. Practice activities will engage students in applying principles of discourse analysis and content mapping for the purpose of understanding message meaning, message coherence and message equivalency towards the goal of generating more accurate and reliable interpretations.Prerequisite: INTR 471.
