Instructor: Dr. Steven D. Collins, Chair of the Department of Interpretation, was the first Deaf graduate of the MA in Interpretation program at Gallaudet in 1992. He received his Ph.D. in linguistics with a focus on adverbials in Tactile ASL in 2004. His specialty, DeafBlind interpreting, is the focus of his national and international speaking engagements, consultations and research. As a Fulbright recipient, Dr. Collins spent six months in Italy developing curriculum and teaching DeafBlind interpreters working with both children and adults.

Course Description/Objectives:
This course is designed for interpreters who already
have experience in interpreting from a written
language to English-based signing to ASL, and who
can usually understand most of the message but
frequently miss fingerspelled words on the first
try. Emphasis is on fingerspelled word recognition
strategies, not with fingerspelled word production.
Fingerspelled words will be studied in context and
in isolation.

course for graduate credit (INT 691), must have
a BA/BS. Must have interpreting experience. The
course will be conducted in ASL.
