Preparing for Screening Day
Preparing for Screening Day
There are many ways that you can prepare:
Interact with Deaf people!!
Review and practice with your ASL 1-4 materials.
Go to ARC's Deaf Culture & ASL-English Interpreting Resource Center (located on campus in TEW 405) and practice with the materials provided in the lab for current students.
Practice with other videos. Watch the ASL signer, paraphrase the presentation in ASL yourself, watch the ASL signer again and modify.
Videotape yourself and get feedback from others.
Work with a Deaf mentor.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the 2-hour information session that is offered at the beginning of each Spring semester via Zoom to learn more about the application, interview/screening process, and program expectations. Attending the information session is not required to apply for the interpreting program but is highly recommended. This year's information session is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 7, 2025, from 10am-12pm. There are no prerequisites to attend this session. Registration for the information session is required.
