Description
Please note: This workshop has been canceled.
Effective discourse mapping in K-12 interpreting work is the foundation for a student to have access to, and engagement with, their education. When a student receiving a mediated education can follow along with the flow of information, interactions, conversations, and participate in the classroom activities, their educational experience is rich and meaningful. During this workshop, we will explore the complexities of classroom discourse, the discourse mapping process, and how an interpreter’s use of space can support advancement of this skill through the use of reflection and active learning processes.
