PRESENTED BY: Sandy Cottrell, M.A. Ed., CI

TIME: 9:30 am - 4:30 pm

Target Audience: Working Interpreters

Course Description: This workshop will focus on the language used in Narcotics
Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, a variety of meeting formats and
the culture of these groups. The main focus will be to work on translations of
the standard literature readings that are read at the beginning and ending of
typical NA & AA meetings. We will discuss the meanings of these texts and work
in groups to come up with possible translations. We will also review a variety
of translations, some written in ASL gloss and others signed in ASL on
videotape. We will also discuss some of the jargon and terms specific to these
groups. Participants will receive a CD-rom of a variety of resources related to
interpreting in NA & AA meetings.
