Introduction to International Signing for Interpreters and Transaltors

This one day workshop is recommended for those who already have advanced skill in any sign

language. Those who use Sign Language in work or at home on a daily basis (such as SL

interpreters and transaltors) would benefit from this course. This workshop aims to expand

participants’ use of their visual language strategies and be able to have basic conversations

in International Sign (IS).

Learning Objectives

• Gain an insight in how International Sign works and how to overcome cultural barriers.

• Understand how to expand and variate signed definitions appropriately.

• Be able to step from reliance on a certain Sign Language or verbal expressions and convey

dialogue using visual and globally recognised signs and gesture.

• Achieve new standards in conversation, production and receptive skills, with both their

own signed language as well as in International Sign.

• Participants will have the confidence to start conversing in informal international settings.

The workshop runs from 10am-4pm and is delivered in BSL.
