Conversation Series

These conversations include a variety of perspectives—Deaf perspectives, Coda perspectives, hearing perspectives, and more. The conversations provide rich insights you might not be exposed to if these individuals were talking with you directly. It is their relationships with one another and the communities in which they live that allow them to speak openly and frankly with one another—always with mutual respect and regard. If you have not yet watched the Conversation Series: Interpreters on interpreting with people who use atypical language webinar, we strongly recommend you start with that as it includes a panel discussion and an introduction to the six Conversation Series videos. The Conversation Series videos are accompanied with a Learner Handbook and Curriculum Guide.

Unfolding Scenarios

Unfolding Scenarios consists of 12 interpreting scenarios, five structured from the perspective of a Deaf interpreter (DI) and seven from the perspective of a hearing interpreter. Each scenario includes five to seven decision points where the interpreter must decide how to proceed.

If you have not yet watched CALI Unfolding Scenarios: Improving Decision-Making of Interpreter Practitioners, we strongly recommend you start there. The Unfolding Scenarios videos are accompanied with a Learner Handbook and Curriculum Guide.
