Current Course Description: INT 330/330L: Theory & Process of Interpreting I/Lab (3/1) INT 330 Theory and Process of Interpreting I (3) Introduces the sociolinguistic factors that influence communication, strategies for analyzing discourse and the theory and process of bilingual/bicultural interpreting. Prerequisite: admission to Interpreting program INT 330L Theory and Process of Interpreting I Lab (1) This interpreting lab, to be taken concurrent¬ly with INT 330, offers students an oppor-tunity to apply the theories and to practice the techniques introduced in INT 330. In this lab, students will practice interpreting task analysis, pre-interpreting skills and process management skills. INT 341/341L: Theory & Process of Interpreting II/Lab (3/1) INT 341 Theory and Process of Interpreting II (3) Introduces students to the analysis and production aspects of ASL-to-English and English-to-ASL interpretation. Students analyze texts using a Goal-to-Detail information management system and practice a variety of visualization techniques. Students participate in group translations of ASL and English texts and consecutively interpret analyzed monologues and dialogues. INT 341L Theory and Process of Interpreting II Lab (1) This interpreting lab, to be taken concurrently with INT 341, offers students an opportunity to apply the theories and to practice the techniques introduced in the Interpreting II class. In this lab, students analyze texts, develop individual and group translations and practice consecutive interpretation. INT 342/342L: Theory & Process of Interpreting II/Lab (3/1) INT 342 Theory and Process of Interpreting III (3) Concentrates on the production aspects of ASL-to-English and English-to-ASL interpretation. Students conduct linguistic and functional analyses of texts focusing on register, style, and effect of presenters. Students consecutively interpret from both pre-analyzed and unfamiliar monologues and dialogues whose content is taken from community interpreting settings. Students work with taped messages and with guest speakers. INT 342L Theory and Process of Interpreting III Lab (1) This interpreting lab, to be taken concurrently with INT 342, offers students an opportunity to apply the theories and to practice the techniques introduced in the Interpreting III class. In this lab, students analyze texts for register, style and affect; practice consecutive interpretations of pre-analyzed monologues and dialogues, and practice consecutive interpretations of unfamiliar material. INT 441/441L: Theory & Process of Interpreting IV/Lab (3/1) Interpreting IV (3) Concentrates on the production aspects of spontaneous ASL-to-English and English-to-ASL interpreting. Students incorporate linguistic and functional text analyses into their consecutive interpreting performances. Students work with recorded messages and with guest speakers in interpreting situa¬tions that include monologues, dialogues, interviews and group discussions. Emphasis is on accurate and fluent interpretations, and students are introduced to team interpreting techniques. INT 441L Theory and Process of Interpreting IV Lab (1) This interpreting lab, to be taken concurrently with INT 441, offers students an opportunity to apply the theories and to practice the techniques introduced in the Interpreting IV class. In this lab, students practice consecutive interpretations of spontaneous monologues, dialogues, interviews and group discussions. Students also practice team interpreting techniques.

New Course Description: INT 330, 341, 342, 441 (4-credits each) Theory & Process of Interpreting I-IV In this series of courses, students will identify and analyze the many demands (Environmental, Interpersonal, Paralinguistic, and Intrapersonal) that influence communication and develop controls for responding to communication events using the demand-control schema. Course content includes the ways in which various interlocutors construct and receive messages, and the co-construction of meaning and current theories in the process of interpreting. Students apply the theories and practice controls by working with static and spontaneous texts to provide consumer-driven interpretations. Prerequisite: Instructor approval and/or completion of previous Theory & Process course with a ¿B¿ or better

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Modeling after the second language courses that establish sequences of courses in a series, we have established the course descriptions to align with what happens in our courses. The content of the courses remains similar throughout the sequence but the depth of analysis and application is increased over time. In addition, we have taken this Course + Lab model and modified it to be a series of 4 4-credit courses to allow for more dedicated time in the classroom with the instructor for individual and group work.

Students/Program affected: ASL/English Interpreting Program majors.
