New Course Description: This course investigates current issues facing the professional interpreter. Issues to be discussed include, but are not limited to, bilingualism/biculturalism, certification and quality assurance, confidentiality, accountability, minority status of American Sign Language and Deaf Culture, oppression and empowerment of the Deaf community, gender and language use, racial and ethnic diversity within the interpreting community, cross cultural mediation and other contemporary issues.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Having INT 360: Current Issues in Interpreting fulfill the Writing Intensive requirements by adding the Writing Intensive (WI) designation to this course would keep the ASL/English Interpreting major in alignment with the other majors on this campus by offering students a course that fulfills the WI requirement at the Upper Division Level. The following quote from WOU¿s Writing Intensive web page supports the justification for changing this course to a WI designation. WOU students are required to complete a minimum of two WI courses for graduation. Ideally, they should have WIC in the major and the minor - courses where class size is kept to 25 at most. Additionally, at least one of these WI courses should be concentrated in the upper-division (300-400 level) offerings where the subject matter of each discipline is explored in more depth than in the LACC courses and where we can show students how to write in that discipline's style. WR 135 is designated as a pre-requisite for UD WI courses. (Retrieved on 5/28/13 from http://www.wou.edu/las/humanities/writingctr/wicourse.php) This would be the only course in the ASL/English Interpreting program to have such a designation.

Students/Program affected: ASL/English Interpreting majors
