This workshop is for established and aspiring Educational Interpreters working in the tertiary setting. Interpreting at TAFE’s and university has some unique challenges and requirements for the interpreter.

Let’s get together (virtually) and look at some of the elements of Auslan/English language and what constitutes appropriate support of a deaf student in a tertiary setting.

The format will be lecture with time for discussion for real life scenarios.
