Part I:  The first part of the text consists of 24 chapters that provide readers with an overview of a variety of ASL grammatical features. Each chapter includes an example glossed into ASL to provide students with a model for translation, each of which are signed on the accompanying DVD, followed by narratives for student practice that gradually increase in length and difficulty. Part II The second part of the text consists of 20 chapters covering additional grammatical features. The selections become increasingly longer in length. Selections in the first several chapters of Part II are also signed by a Deaf individual on the companion DVD. As the selections become longer, a nationally certified interpreter interprets selected narratives modeling the ASL principle described in the chapter.  Part III:  The third part of the text is devoted to exercises that focus on building automaticity when confronting multiple meaning words, idioms, and college level vocabulary. These selections are longer in length and are designed to provide interpreters with source material that covers a wide variety of topics.  Part IV:  The fourth part of the text includes narratives, lectures, and passages from texts that might be read in a high school or college class.  \u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES OF THIS NEW TEXT: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I \u0026amp; Part II include information on \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eASL grammatical features\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eand provides readers with examples of how to gloss \u003c\/b\u003ethe selections. \u003cb\u003eThese examples are also demonstrated on the accompanying DVD \u003c\/b\u003eas a visual aid to help future interpreters. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Readers are taught \u003cb\u003ehow to work with multiple meaning words, idioms\u003c\/b\u003e, and are provided with \u003cb\u003evocabulary building exerci\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eses\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The \u003cb\u003eworkbook design \u003c\/b\u003eallows students opportunity to \u003cb\u003ecompare what their written responses to the exercises with what they see on the accompanying DVD\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eEnclosed DVD \u003c\/b\u003eallows students to \u003cb\u003esee some of the narratives signed and interpreted \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eprovides students with visual examples and role models \u003c\/b\u003eof what the ASL principles look in action. \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nanci Scheetz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0205470254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780205470259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.88h x 8.55w x 0.75d","brand":"Nanci Scheetz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254712692991,"sku":"9780205470259","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_798b5a95-e6ab-4157-abef-27a6dda229fa.jpg?v=1694613940","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/building-asl-interpreting-and-translation-nanci-scheetz-9780205470259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
