Auslan 101: Designed for Educational Interpreters
$30.00 (member price: $15.00)Add to cartWhen: Thurs September 4th 2025 7:00 – 9:00pm AEST (6:30pm ACDT; 5:00pm AWST)
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!

Ready to deepen your understanding of Auslan’s rich linguistic features? Join us for Show, Don’t Tell: Exploring Linguistic Features of Auslan, an engaging workshop designed for interpreters and practitioners who want to elevate their use of depicting signs and constructed action techniques.
Auslan’s visual and spatial nature offers unique ways to convey meaning—far beyond words alone. In this workshop, we’ll dive into three powerful tools:
- Depicting Signs – Learn how to effectively represent objects, actions, and environments to bring messages to life.
- Constructed Action/Dialogue – Explore techniques for embodying characters, emotions, and perspectives in a way that feels authentic and natural.
- Co-constructed Techniques – Discover how to skillfully share the signing space and co-create meaning in dynamic interactions.
Through hands-on activities and practical examples, you’ll develop skills to “show” rather than “tell,” creating clear, engaging, and visually rich interpretations.
Workshop Highlights:- Guided practice in applying these techniques.
- Strategies to improve clarity and audience engagement.
- Opportunities to collaborate and receive expert feedback.
This event is Auslan immersive and will not be interpreted.

Reading Minds, Reading Signs: Closing the Theory of Mind Gap for Deaf Students

Theory of Mind (ToM) is a crucial cognitive skill that underpins communication, social interaction, and learning. For Deaf students, differences in access to incidental learning and social cues make ToM an important consideration for educational interpreters.
Join us as we explore the concept of Theory of Mind and discuss how it relates to our work. This session will cover:
- The foundations of ToM and its development in children and adolescents.
- How ToM shapes interactions, learning experiences, and peer relationships.
- Strategies to support perspective-taking, inferencing, and comprehension in interpreted settings.
- Practical applications—how an understanding of ToM can enhance our role as interpreters.
Whether you’re looking to build on existing knowledge or gain fresh insights, this workshop will provide valuable perspectives and tools to support Deaf learners in their cognitive and social development.
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion on the role of Theory of Mind in educational interpreting!
