Editorial Reviews

Once again, being an ASL interpreter is a labor of love. There are a number of steps and processes that every interpreter needs to use each and every time he or she interprets. One of the fundamental abilities that an interpreter must develop in order to work closely and efficiently with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing consumers is the maintenance and bolstering of expressive skills. Throughout the video, there will be 5 new and challenging chapters containing ASL Storytelling where Avery Posner will be expressing about the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, healthy pomegranates, miracle helicopter and more. In every chapter, viewers will first see a complete story with complete audio without the ASL / Voice-to-Sign interpretations. Immediately following the story, there will be over 40 challenging yet excellent training questions covering four main activities to aid interpreters and ASL students to develop expressive skills: - Fingerspelling Check - Fact Check - Idiom & Phrase Check - Short Sentence Check As a bonus, you will learn six additional commonly used idioms and phrases in American Sign Language. Gilda Ganezer and Avery Posner will present the idioms and then show you how to use them in complete sentences. Additional Sign-to-Voice activities will be included along with series of bloopers - additional 10 minutes of videos, also in the DVD as a bonus feature!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough actual practice, June 18, 2011

This review is from: American Sign Language Interpreter Training: Expressive Skills Practice, Vol. 1 (DVD)

This product would be a valuable resource for express interpreting if more time was spent on the actual interpreting segments and less time on the videos and bloopers. You only get 2 minutes of interpreting practice per segment.
