| ASGN 242 - Communication Dynamics in Interpreted Encounters (0.5 course-credit) |
|
An exploration of communication dynamics when interpreters are involved in interpersonal encounters. Interpreted interactions are examined in the light of communication theory as well as theories of interpreter participation. In the style of a survey course, students explore relevant aspects of interpersonal communication, small group communication, and intercultural communication research and theory. Some critical social theory is introduced so students can explore the play of power and privilege. An overview of social scientific paradigms provides a frame for comparing and contrasting interpreted interaction with non-interpreted interaction. The course equips students with knowledge and skills to bring to bear in their interpreting practicum experience and when they embark upon a professional career as sign language interpreters. Students in the American Sign Language/English Interpreting concentration must pass this course with a minimum grade of C (2.0).
Corequisite: ASGN 321 American Sign Language/English Interpreting I or permission of instructor.
