Science and the ASL in the Classroom

Conceptually accurate sign language, especially with difficult academic subjects, is crucial for student comprehension in a classroom. This session will be focusing on science concepts and helping deaf students understand a topic well through your interpretation. If you would like to learn how to interpret any science concepts in ASL, this is the session for you. This is also an opportunity to brush up on your science knowledge and apply it when necessary, and also your chance to ask questions about specific scientific topics or terms you are likely to face at some point during your interpreting career.
Participants will be able to identify terminology that is important in the science classroom.
Participants will practice implementing and demonstrate the use of scientific terminology in ASL that is used in the classroom.
