Abstract
-
The project's significance lies in bridging the gap between theory and practice in
trilingual interpreting education. The field of trilingual interpreting faces significant
challenges due to the scarcity of resources and research, particularly in adapting existing
processing models to manage three languages simultaneously. The aim is to define
trilingual interpreting, develop a suitable curriculum, and, by synthesizing existing
resources and incorporating stakeholder input, establish a framework for trilingual
interpreting training. The three languages that will be discussed include American Sign
Language, English, and Spanish; however, the goal is that the completed trilingual
interpreting training curriculum will be generalized to substitute for any three languages.
The data collected and utilized in this project were collected via QualitricsXM (2025),
and the individuals were recruited through snowball and purposive sampling.
Furthermore, the questions in the survey were both qualitative and quantitative in nature.
The end results showed a clear consensus of what trilingual interpreting means and the
need for trilingual interpreters in the Deaf Community, who have specialized training in
the interpreting process that includes three languages of mixed modalities. The
curriculum outline that was developed as part of this project includes the program and
student learning outcomes that could be modified or applied for training trilingual
individuals who use any three languages.
