Abstract
-
Feedback is a crucial aspect of skill development as an American Sign Language (ASL)/English Interpreter. Newer (or novice) interpreters benefit immensely from the extra support provided by experienced interpreters, yet they may find discomfort in the process of requesting or receiving it. Without access to feedback, a novice interpreter’s skills may wilt; thus, early incorporation of effective feedback is critical during the transition from graduate to professional.
I explore my discomfort with feedback and development by examining the intricacies of language used by experienced interpreters during feedback sessions, and my thought worlds surrounding the process of development through feedback. I analyze participant statements, self-reflective graduate work, and post-feedback questionnaires to further comprehend one novice interpreter’s mind when receiving feedback.
