Course Overview

This course will prepare CASLI test candidates to take the Generalist Performance Exam for Hearing Interpreters which would result in RID’s National Interpreter Certification (NIC) credentials. Students will review the Job Task Analysis for hearing interpreters, and look for examples of these skills and abilities in their own work. Students will record themselves interpreting practice performance scenarios and reflect on and analyze their work. Diversity will be represented among Deaf and hearing consumers in terms of language use, age, gender, and cultural background. Students will also take a mock exam and reflect on the experience. Students need to be eligible to take the Generalist Performance Exam, which would mean that either they have already passed the Fundamentals on Interpreting written test and are eligible to take the Ethical Decision Making and Cultural Responsiveness Case Studies (gap test) at the same time with their performance exam, or they have already passed both portions of the Generalist Knowledge Exam. (PST 169 and PST 170 are recommended for more training on both portions of the Knowledge exam.) Students should already have a comprehensive knowledge of both ASL and English, and experience in both interpreting and transliterating, both to and from each language. Practice videos will vary from 5 to 20 minutes in order to help practice stamina in interpretation, and to be in line with current source materials from CASLI. This asynchronous course has no required meeting times, but does have a weekly submission schedule, and students can request virtual office hours as needed. This course has pass/fail grading. This course also requires GoReact (purchased separately).
