“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.
