INTERPRETER TRAINING TECHNOLOGY
Jefferson Davis Campus
Welcome to the Interpreter Training homepage. The primary focus of this curriculum is to teach students how to interpret spoken English into American Sign Language and to translate American Sign Language into spoken English. Role playing situations and video tapes are widely used. In addition, training will be given in transliteration and oral interpretation. Other course topics will include psychology of deafness, linguistics, deaf culture and educational interpreting. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in a practicum program at local technical facilities, in local educational settings, and other community service-based settings. This two-year technical program leads to an A.A.S. degree.
