Interpreting is more than just conveying words, it’s about accurately representing meaning, structure, and intent in Auslan. In educational settings, interpreters are often the only language model a Deaf student has access to, meaning our choices directly impact their language development and comprehension. A solid understanding of Auslan linguistics helps Educational Interpreters make informed decisions, ensuring that our interpretations support both conceptual accuracy and linguistic integrity.

Join us as we explore:

• The building blocks of Auslan
• How linguistic knowledge can inform our interpreting choices
• Common linguistic challenges in Auslan interpreting, and strategies to navigate them.
• Why understanding Auslan linguistics helps bridge gaps in meaning, intent, and student comprehension.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding or refine your skills, this session will provide practical insights to enhance your interpreting practice and support clear, natural, and linguistically accurate Auslan interpretations for the students you work with.

Join us to explore how linguistics can strengthen your Auslan interpreting!

This event is Auslan immersive and will not be interpreted.
