Sacramento, CA 95833

Bearing in mind the high level of bilingual proficiency required to meet the demands of court interpreting, this workshop veers away from think-ing in terms of the right or wrong word but instead focuses on the more productive search for linguistic-based explanations for the word choices interpreters make during the course of their performance.

Debbie Donson, Federal and California Court Certified Interpreter has worked as a court interpreter in LA Superior Court since 1994 and recently received a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at UCLA Extension, and an M.A. in Linguistics/Teaching English as a Second Language at California State University Long Beach.
