They switch at prearranged intervals which are typically 20 minutes. Select the link below to begin the exercise.

Does the Deaf participant have any preference? What would be the optimal arrangement for the Deaf person? The division of the interpreter tasks could be done in the following ways: The typical “Hot/Cold” seat arrangement: The “working” interpreter sits - [READING 3b: Not understanding the Deaf person's question](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/demo-version-a-sign-of-respect-series/contents/demo-a-sign-of-respect-part-3/unit/reading-3b-not-understanding-the-deaf-persons-question/) - Many interpreters struggle to do a decent job in interpreting from ASL to spoken English. This is probably because they are working from their 2nd language to 1st language. By contrast, most spoken language interpreters are native users of the language that is being used by the individuals who “need” an interpreter. For instance, interpreters - [READING 4b: Showing Your Respect](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/asor1-161010/contents/unit-4-displaying-respectful-behavior/unit/reading-1d-showing-your-respect/) - Regardless of which type of event you choose to attend, it is always important to show your respect by exhibiting appropriate behavior.

The purpose for this is to provide an immersive experience in a new language. In addition, it is rude not to sign in the presence of Deaf people. It may be tempting for you to sneak a verbal comment or two under your breath - [READING 2a: Having a Deaf or Signing Instructor](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/asor1-161010/contents/unit-2-having-a-deaf-or-signing-instructor/unit/reading-2a-having-a-deaf-or-signing-instructor/) - It may be a new experience for you to be in a signing, visual learning environment. As you probably noticed, the seating arrangement is usually set up in a semi-circular fashion, making it possible for everyone to see each other easily. Also, it is typical for ASL classes to be conducted in a “voice-off” environment, - [READING 6: To Interpret or Not?](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-2-160629/contents/chapter-7/unit/reading-6-to-interpret-or-not/) - As the only hearing person in a group of Deaf people, you may feel unsure about the best way to act as an ally.

For instance, it would not be unusual for the parent to handle every aspect of the doctor appointment including having a discussion with the doctor about the problem, diagnosis, care, and medication. The parent then would - [READING 8b: Medical Scenarios](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-8-non-academic-environment/unit/reading-8b-excerpt-from-rbs-ch-11-medical-scenarios/) - Excerpt from Reading Between the Signs by Mindess, Holcomb, Langholtz and Moyers (used by permission).

The question is how to do the post-meeting discussion in a respectful, non-oppressive manner. It is always considered rude not to sign in the presence of Deaf people, even if - [READING 7b: Asking for feedback](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-7-after-the-job/unit/reading-7b-excerpt-from-rbs-ch-13-asking-for-feedback/) - Excerpt from Reading Between the Signs by Mindess, Holcomb, Langholtz and Moyers (used by permission).

Not every assignment will go flawlessly. There are too many variables that can affect the outcome of the work. For example, not having the contextual information can make the work difficult. Interpreting for a person who has a strong accent is challenging. Interpreting a nervous signer is difficult.

From Chapter 10 “I’ve Always Wanted to Know . . .” Since sign language is so visual, we attract a lot of attention. The first time hearing people see a sign language interpreter at work, they are often intrigued enough - [READING 6b: Not understanding the Deaf person's question](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-6-on-the-job/unit/reading-6b-not-understanding/) - Many interpreters struggle to do a decent job in interpreting from ASL to spoken English. This is probably because they are working from their 2nd language to 1st language. By contrast, most spoken language interpreters are native users of the language that is being used by the individuals who “need” an interpreter. For instance, - [READING 6a: Realizing inadequacies](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-6-on-the-job/unit/reading-6a-realizing-inadequacies/) - Clearly, newly minted interpreters need to start somewhere. Ideally, they are supported with more experienced interpreters who are willing to function as their mentors. However, even experienced interpreters often find themselves in jobs for which they are not well suited or adequately prepared. When interpreters find themselves in a situation where the task is - [READING 5h: Having 2nd interpreter transliterate](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-5-pre-assignment-logistics/unit/reading-5h-having-2nd-interpreter-transliterate/) - In most cases, there is not an army of interpreters ready to work. Therefore, having another set of interpreters do the transliteration work is not feasible. An alternative is to have the second interpreter do the transliteration work when possible. For example, when the working interpreter is using lag time to get the interpreted - [READING 5g: Arranging for the use of transliteration service](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-5-pre-assignment-logistics/unit/reading-5g-arranging-for-the-use-of-transliteration-service/) - The use of transliteration can be a valuable resource for Deaf presenters. Here, the transliterators would sign verbatim the spoken words that the interpreters used while the Deaf person is signing. Instead of lipreading the interpreters, the Deaf signer would have the ability to monitor the interpreter’s work by seeing the transliterator sign back - [READING 5f: Pre-meeting to discuss strategies to repair when needed](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-5-pre-assignment-logistics/unit/reading-5f-pre-meeting-to-discuss-strategies-to-repair-when-needed/) - Topics in premeeting sessions with Deaf participants are usually limited to identifying the preferred language mode (ASL or more English like signing), seating preference, and possible rotation schedule. These discussions need to be expanded to include ways to handle errors in the ASL to spoken English interpretation work, - [READING 5e: Fixing Errors](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-5-pre-assignment-logistics/unit/reading-5e-fixing-errors/) - The challenge of interpreting from ASL to spoken English is often huge for many interpreters, and even more so for newly minted interpreters. Because spoken English is inaccessible to Deaf people, a Deaf presenter is often not aware of the errors being made by the interpreters. Because even the best interpreters do make errors, - [READING 5d: The Seating Arrangement](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-5-pre-assignment-logistics/unit/reading-5d-the-seating-arrangement/) - While standard practice calls for the interpreter to sit/stand in front of the room facing the Deaf person in the front row, this may not be the preferred arrangement for the Deaf person. Here are some considerations besides this typical arrangement.

Typically, the interpreters on the job would ask Deaf people if they had any preference as to the signing style, vocabulary, or any other specific requests. A typical response might be “do your thing, as I’m - [READING 4b: Finding the Deaf person](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-4-pre-assignment-getting-there-finding-the-room-person/unit/reading-4b-finding-the-deaf-person/) - Deaf people do not look any different from other people, nor do they do not behave any differently. Or do they? Besides the obvious features, such as hearing aids, cochlear implants or the use of signing, it can be difficult to identify a Deaf person among the crowd. Yet, interpreters and Deaf people - [READING 4a: Being Punctual](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-4-pre-assignment-getting-there-finding-the-room-person/unit/reading-4a-being-punctual/) - Attending a life event with an interpreter present is stressful enough as it is. Seeing a doctor for the first time, going to a “heavy” meeting, getting ready for a job interview, and so on. Deaf people often have no idea if an interpreter has even been secured, if the interpreter is qualified, if - [READING 3k: Suggestions for "safer" job choices for new interpreters](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-3-jobs-to-pursue-and-accept/unit/reading-3h-suggestions-for-safer-job-choices-for-new-interpreters/) - Perhaps you have found that some of the interpreting assignments Amy views (e.g., mainstream school setting, medical appointment, job interview) may not be the most appropriate for novice interpreters. You may be wondering what would be some suggestions for "safer" job choices for new interpreters. Here are some suggestions we have collected from both experienced - [READING 3i: Academic lecture](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-3-jobs-to-pursue-and-accept/unit/reading-3i-academic-lecture/) - There are a growing number of Deaf people pursuing higher education degrees. This calls for interpreters who are skilled to interpret high-level academic matters. This is essential because, for many Deaf college students, their ability to pass college courses often depends on the quality of interpreters. For this reason, interpreters should not take this - [READING 3g: Back to School night](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-3/contents/unit-3-jobs-to-pursue-and-accept/unit/reading-3f-back-to-school-night/) - Children of Deaf Adults (CODAs) are in a unique position of having to navigate between two or more worlds all their lives.

However, because the settings for health care vary a great deal, the qualifications also vary. For example, a routine wellness check is drastically different from many emergency room situations.

This may well be due to their need for a safe haven from continued harassment, discrimination, paternalism, and/or patronizing behaviors from “outsiders”. Deaf people are no different. For whatever reasons, there have been instances where outsiders try to mislead community members - [Read the Scenario - "It's All About Me...Isn't It?"](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/interpreters-lets-talk-about-us/contents/its-all-about-me-isnt-it/unit/read-the-scenario-its-all-about-me-isnt-it/) - The participants read the following scenario individually just before their conversation started: You are working from ASL to English in a team for an important academic presentation.

The best way to initiate and build relationships is to find a common interest with those individuals you seek to connect with.

In previous generations, it was fairly common for Deaf people to enter the their friends’ homes when no one answered the door.

This is particularly important to Deaf signers since ASL is a visual language and conversations can be observed from a distance. A few generations ago, this was not a cause for concern, as very few hearing people - [READING 11a: Directions given by Carol](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/asor1-161010/contents/unit-11-becoming-an-ally/unit/reading-11a/) - As you may have noticed, Carol provided an elaborate description of all the steps needed to get to her place.

If you are too ambitious in “helping those poor deaf folks”, this will probably be viewed as evidence that you do not possess a “good attitude”. However, you will probably encounter situations when it may be appropriate for you to offer your ears and hands to - [READING 5b: How not to watch rudely](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/asor1-161010/contents/unit-5-building-relationshipsmaking-deaf-friends/unit/readexercise-5d-new-about-not-watching-a-signed-conversation/) - In Deaf culture, public spaces are recognized as not being places where people can have private conversations.

Sometimes the feedback provided is rather straightforward and can be easily misconstrued as being critical. Your first reaction may be to feel hurt or insulted.

Indeed, Deaf people belong to one of the cultures that are considered “time-plentiful” as opposed to “time-limited”. This may stand in stark contrast to Mainstream American culture where time is viewed as a scarce resource that we need - [READING 5c: Making Connections](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-2-160629/contents/chapter-6/unit/reading-5c-making-connections/) - The Deaf community, or “Deaf world” as many Deaf people would call it, is small and intimate. Instead of the well-known “6 degrees of separation,” between any two people, a much smaller number is necessary to find a connection between any two Deaf people. This was especially true in the past when there were only - [READING 5a: Informing Others of Your Destination](https://store.treehousevideo.com/programs/a-sign-of-respect-2-160629/contents/chapter-6/unit/reading-5a-informing-others-of-your-destination/) - “Keeping others informed” can be viewed as an expectation in Deaf culture, which operates on several levels. Sharing information that affects the community has a long tradition dating back to an era before computers, email, the Internet, and captioned television, when information was not as accessible as it is today.
