Project Outline
This semester I wanted to get involved in a different types
of fields in interpreting. I wanted to try a different field.
One of these options was to try teaching Sign Language.
When it comes to teaching Sign Language you can either
be a teacher or a tutor.
This project helped me see if I were to teach at a high school or college. Also, if I were to be a tutor
for a hearing person, I would follow the same format.
Steps of the Classes
1. Alphabet
2. Introduction Vocabulary
3. Medical Vocabulary
4. Vocabulary
5. Final Exam
Agenda/Lessons
I have organized lessons and agendas for the classes and it was more important to have a more
organization since we had some Fridays cut off because of the holidays. The agenda of every
lesson was to review what we learned last week, learn new vocabulary and then practice it as a
group. I didnt only make agendas I needed to make power points with the signs and upload
videos on how to sign it. I emailed very week on what was the homework and the new vocabulary
on their lists.

-Another challenge I faced was juggling with time and assignments. It was
difficult to balance the classes and school. This was difficult because I
needed to make time to be able to teach the classes and to make the youtube
videos for them.
Thank You!
Whats Next?
-The Family Guidance Center offered to help me to find an internship with
their organization or with another. They also gave me a list of interpreters
contacts who are in different fields of interpreting. This was to help me to
see what kind of field I would be interested in and to have someone elses
example to copy.
