The Effective Interpreting Series is a comprehensive, multi-installment series offering source materials in English (to use with any other language in a language pair), and five sets of source materials in American Sign Language (ASL). The series takes the complex skill of simultaneous interpreting and breaks it down into manageable components, allowing interpreters to strengthen the individual skills that lead to effective simultaneous interpreting.

Translating from ASL teaches the steps necessary to take any American Sign Language source material and analyze the message's meaning, develop a message equivalent, test the resulting translation for accuracy and make any necessary adjustments.

Topics include:

• Preparing to translate
  
• Analyzing the meaning of the text
  
• Message transfer
  
• Reformulating the message
  
• Priorities in translation
  
• Testing the translation
