Understanding what “understanding” means for your LEP KITAs
When we say that the Limited English Proficient (LEP) individual has a right to “understand,” what are we saying exactly? What does “understanding” mean in an interpreting scenario? This presentation will go over some of the basic principles of meaning and communication and apply those principles to the interpreting function in different domains: healthcare, legal, and educational. At the end of the presentation attendees will have acquired a comprehensive notion of what “understanding” means for the LEP individuals and will know how to apply this knowledge to improve their interpreting performance.

Accuracy in Consecutive and Accuracy in Simultaneous In this course participants learn how to recognize those parts of speech that are critical for accurate renditions into a target language, and those that are not. Accuracy will be framed in terms of grammatical structure, the role of semantics and pragmatics in speaker-meaning, and how to convey that meaning in the target language applying discourse analysis principles according to the interpreting techniques used, consecutive or simultaneous.
