Part 1. Transcription of your choice
The ADA has four parts. Title one pertains to the workplace. This means that your boss...uh...needs to provide you with accomodations you need, like a TTY, interpreters, and amp...amplified phones.
Part 2. Title II
Title two includes government institutions...um...such as public schools, parks, libraries, and um.....
This title is really important because its says that...um...courts need to provide you with the services that you need.
Simultaneous Interpretation #1:
Observations:
"shortened ADA"
"get your communication access"
The ADA is a law...a federal law..."
"...means employers...'they'"
"public places...businesses open to the public."
"if a deaf person meets the lawyer"
changed the pronoun "they" to "you"
"your interpreter"
lots of pauses
cohesion/transitions was not that great
vocab suffered
maybe change "the ADA" to "law"
Reflection (CI vs. SI):
I really liked this activity. I noticed in my consecutive intepreting activity that I missed a lot of key points and important information, however, my cohesion was much better. In contrast, my simultaneous interpretation of this source text included more information, but my cohesion and vocabulary suffered. Both times I did not focus on who my audience was until the very end, when I changed my pronoun use from "they" to "you." Overall, I think this activity was really helpful. It pointed out what I need to work on, and I think with a lot of practice I will be able to improve.
Step 2: View & Recall
ADA - good, disabilities (equal access)
Supreme Court - bad decisions, employers finding loop holes (catch 22)
If medicated or utilization of assitive devises, you are no longer protected under the ADA
Tom Harkin support in 1990
Restoration Act - restate the ADA as it was intended, no more discrimination
