Current Course Description: This is the first in a series of two courses where students examine interpersonal communication and discuss the role of an interpreter. Students will practice and apply principles of invention, organization, language, and delivery with focus on the development of skill and confidence in interpersonal communication (e.g., varied contexts/styles/ registers/topics) in English and in ASL. Students analyze and evaluate speeches in public settings; critically study invention, arrangement, and style.

New Course Description: In this course students will examine interpersonal communication and discuss the role of an interpreter. Students will practice and apply principles of invention, organization, language, and delivery with focus on the development of skill and confidence in interpersonal communication (e.g., varied contexts/styles/ registers/topics) in English and in ASL. Students analyze and evaluate speeches in public settings; critically study invention, arrangement, and style.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Rationale As we continue to monitor the opportunities for graduate level education for interpreters, we have found that there are no graduate programs in teaching interpreting in the entire nation. Yet, there is sufficient need for an increase in the quality and quantity of interpreter educators, nationally, to warrant an MA program in this area. We also continued interviewed experts in the field of interpreting and determined that focusing our efforts on one program where the need is most prevalent and lowering the number of credits from the original proposal would be manageable and sustainable.

Students/Program affected: MA in Interpreting Studies with an Emphasis in Interpreting
