“ASL to  English Platform Interpreting” will be taught by John Folker.

Presenter: Rev. John Folker (MS, CSC, SC:L) has been working with the Deaf since 1977.  He has lived in seven states and is now from Richmond, Virginia.  He is the Pastor of StoryOne Richmond, a pioneering Deaf Church based on Deaf training and leadership.  He has been a part of SBCD for over 25 years and specifically works with Deaf missions.  He is blessedly married for 22 years to Donna (also an interpreter) and father of 3 wonderful children.

Rev. Folker will share his years of experience and frustrations on the road to becoming a nationally and legally certified interpreter. He owned an interpreting business, has served as state RID president, and has taught numerous workshops to both hearing and Deaf. He was the full-time staff interpreter for a court system in Arizona for four years, and has returned to the free-lance market.  He will focus on your deaf persona, internal processing of the source message, and techniques for making interpretation so much more clear to deaf persons. Proper technique will ease translation stress and physical injury. He understands you, the interpreter, no matter your skill level.

“Deaf Culture” will be taught by Nina Coyer.

Nina is a native of San Diego, California. She attended Gallaudet University before she graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with both a Bachelors and a Masters in Education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing. She taught at the Kentucky School for the Deaf for 12 years before joining full time as Tenured Assistant Professor at her alma mater where she is now in her 13th year.  She teaches all levels of American Sign Language, Deaf Culture and Interpreting classes. She has also taught many workshops in a variety of subjects.

Interpreter Training Program

presents

Daniel Roush, M.A., CI/CT

Saturday, June 12, 2010

8:00 am-12:00 am & 1:00 pm-5:00 pm

Kavanaugh Life Enrichment Center                            7505 Kavanaugh Road, Crestwood, KY

Course Title: “The Interpreter’s Footprint: (Re)negotiating Your Role As Part Of Ethical Decision Making”

Professional Development Description:

How we talk about interpreter roles affects how we think about roles and how we think about roles affects how we talk

about them.  This workshop will explore alternative ways of thinking and talking about our roles.  Rather than

becoming frustrated over the struggle we often encounter in defining our roles, we will attempt to answer the question

of whether this struggle should become central to our conception of ourselves as a profession.  We will also explore

the question of whether this struggle can be re-conceived as a process of ongoing role negotiation within ourselves,

between our peers, and with the people with whom we interact.  The negotiation and related ethical decision making

skills introduced in this workshop must be developed over the life-span of our professional career.

(This course offers 8 hours of RID/ACET CMP in the Professional Studies area.)

The North American Mission Board is the RID sponsor for this event.

Danny is an Assistant Professor at Eastern Kentucky University’s ASL and English Interpretation program.

He has been interpreting professionally for nearly 20 years in a variety of settings including vocational

rehabilitation, federal government, educational, religious, community, and video relay.  He is a graduate of

Gallaudet University’s Masters in Linguistics program.  His teaching, research, and service interests include

student success, educational technology, linguistic politeness, life-long learning, and improving the working

conditions of professional interpreters.  He is a farmer’s husband with his wife, Lisa–the farmer, and their

four children, living the good life in Berea, Kentucky.
