Picking up where "Innovative Practices in Teaching Sign Language
Interpreters" left off, this new collection presents the best new
interpreter teaching techniques proven in action by the eminent
contributors assembled here. In the first chapter, Dennis Cokely
discusses revising curricula in the new century based upon
experiences at Northeastern University. Jeffrey E. Davis delineates
how to teach observation techniques to interpreters, while
Elizabeth Winston and Christine Monikowski suggest how discourse
mapping can be considered the Global Positioning System of
translation.
In other chapters, Laurie Swabey proposes ways to handle the
challenge of referring expressions for interpreting students, and
Melanie Metzger describes how to learn and recognize what
interpreters do in interaction. Jemina Napier contributes
information on training interpreting students to identify omission
potential. Robert G. Lee explains how to make the interpreting
process come alive in the classroom. Mieke Van Herreweghe discusses
turn-taking and turn-yielding in meetings with Deaf and hearing
participants in her contribution. Anna-Lena Nilsson defines "false
friends," or how contextually incorrect use of facial expressions
with certain signs in Swedish Sign Language can be detrimental
influences on interpreters. The final chapter by Kyra Pollitt and
Claire Haddon recommends retraining interpreters in the art of
telephone interpreting, completing "Advances in Teaching Sign
Language Interpreters" as the new authoritative volume in this
vital communication profession.
