Institution:

Gallaudet University

Subject:

Description:

This graduate-level course is designed for interpreters who have experience interpreting from ASL to English and from English-based signing into English and who can usually understand most of the message but frequently miss fingerspelled words on the first try. Experiences designed to improve fingerspelled word recognition on the first try will be provided. Fingerspelled words will be studied in context and in isolation. A televised lecture by Robert E. Johnson, Ph.D., "The Structure of Fingerspelling, " will be incorporated into the course. The course also has a theoretical component in that the underlying cognitive processes associated with fingerspelled word recognition will be explained and discussed. The theoretical aspects form the basis for the practical applications.
