NOTIS and Community Interpreter Division present
This workshop will help interpreters improve their individual performances by practicing sight translation. The workshop is geared towards interpreters working in community settings (healthcare, social services, and education). Several exercises will be offered and an opportunity given to work with language partners.
An Interactive Webshop
A webshop is just like an interactive onsite class, but held online through Zoom.
During a webshop, you can ask questions and engage in discussion. You may be divided into “break-out” rooms where you’ll be working with other participants on exercises or on practicing a skill. There may be quizzes and polls. So, while there may be some PowerPoint and lecture, this is not like your typical webinar. Your full attention and participation is expected; that’s what makes it fun!

More webshop info: The workshop will begin with a review of what sight translation is and what steps should be taken to perform sight translation. A discussion will take place of what documents should and should not be sight translated, based on the ethical guidelines provided by NCIHC and ATA. Participants will then learn a decision making model based on ethical principles. There will be several interactive exercises for practicing sight translation, including practicing with language partners and in small groups. Interpreters will learn how to continue improving their skills independently. Links to online practice material will be shared.
