April 2012: Conference Terminology and Procedures
Description:
The well-known phrases "the meeting is called to order" and "the meeting is adjourned" have marked the beginning and the end of countless rounds of negotiations, discussions, debates and decisions. What in fact is the meaning of the dozens of terms used by meeting chairmen and participants in the hours in between those two phrases? Those individuals who plan, chair and speak at such meetings, as well as those who prepare the documentation and engage in translation and interpretation of the necessary materials, speeches and informal comments need to know both the relevant terminology and procedures and the meaning behind those terms. How is a resolution drafted, and how is consensus reached? Why are there sometimes literally dozens of drafts of a single paragraph? How do parties to a resolution negotiate, and what are some basic negotiating techniques? Why will delegates sometimes argue for hours over a comma or a question of wording that may seem utterly trivial to the outside observer? How can procedural motions and discussions serve to stifle or speed up the debate and resolution of an issue? While the specifics of terminology and procedure may vary from one language and organization to another, the basic tenets and rules of the game remain remarkably similar. Drawing on some 25 years of experience interpreting within the United Nations system as well as translating and consulting for numerous public and private organizations, Dr. Visson will explore the terminology and procedure used at a great variety of meetings to help the student understand the underlying motivations and tactics used by participants to achieve their goals.

Translation is both art and science, more so now than ever. Clients today have an ever-growing need for translation of electronically distributed materials that go way beyond Microsoft Word or Excel documents and far beyond hardcopy faxes and memos. Few translators realize that one's inability to provide these more "technical" services can hurt them in the long run even though such skills are far from difficult in comparison to mastering a language.
Learning website localization is a logical first step to understanding the more technical aspects of the "science" of translation. Starting from simple web content creation to basic design using HTML (the building blocks of the web), we will first gain a strong understanding of how websites are authored before delving into the translation of the content itself. the remainder of the course will be focused on translation, engineerings, QA and management of website projects from the source language in order to create fully "localized" websites, i.e. websites that are fully adapted to the needs of a target audience.

Registration Deadline: June 11, 2012 plus $200 USD deposit, Enrollment tuition due June 25, 2012.

July 2012: Training of Trainers for the Healthcare Interpreting Profession
Description:
This five-day course provides an overview to teaching medical interpreting to current and future instructors who wish to enhance their teaching skills. Unlike many 40-hour medical interpreting trainings, this class does not teach a set curriculum. Rather, it seeks to provide participants with the tools necessary for creating and/or adapting their own courses targeting a variety of audiences. We will begin by acquainting participants with the training standards adopted by the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC) so that they can comply with the standards when developing their own courses. The first part of the training focuses on the fundamentals of lesson planning and assessment, including addressing classroom management and different learning styles. The second part presents how to teach the core content of an introductory medical interpreting course, including: (1) teaching ethics and standards, (2) teaching interpreter roles and proper intervention techniques, (3) teaching listening and memory, (4) teaching interpreting modes, and (5) teaching culture in healthcare interpreting. Finally, this course integrates the following key areas of expertise that are often overlooked: (1) the pedagogical impact of current legislative and technology trends, (2) teaching public speaking and performance skills, and (3) practical aspects of teaching medical interpreting across diverse settings. Participants will have ample opportunity to practice teaching different content using a variety of methods, with feedback from their peers and the instructors.
Course objectives:
At the end of the course, participants will have an overview of approaches, methods, and materials that they can use to improve their teaching. They will have an understanding of basic course design and assessment, as well as the core content required for an introductory medical interpreting class. Finally, they will have strategies for teaching diverse populations in a variety of healthcare settings.
