{"product_id":"9781563685552","title":"Service Learning in Interpreter Education: Strategies for Extending Student Involvement in the Deaf Community","description":"\u003cp\u003eInstitutions of higher learning around the nation have embraced the concept of student civic engagement as part of their curricula, a movement that has spurred administrators in various fields to initiate programs as part of their disciplines. In response, sign language interpreting educators are attempting to devise service-learning programs aimed at Deaf communities. Except for a smattering of journal articles, however, they have had no primary guide for fashioning these programs. Sherry Shaw remedies this in her new book \u003ci\u003eService Learning in Interpreter Education: Strategies for Extending Student Involvement in the Deaf Community\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e       Shaw begins by outlining how to extend student involvement beyond the field experience of an internship or practicum and suggests how to overcome student resistance to a course that seems atypical. She introduces the educational strategy behind service-learning, explaining it as a tool for re-centering the Deaf community in interpreter education. She then provides the framework for a service-learning course syllabus, including establishing Deaf community partnerships and how to conduct student assessments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e       \u003ci\u003eService Learning in Interpreter Education\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with first-person accounts from students and community members who recount their personal and professional experiences with service learning. With this thorough guide, interpreter education programs can develop stand-alone courses or modules within existing coursework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gallaudet University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055846310128,"sku":"9781563685552","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781563685552_p0.jpg?v=1763758506","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781563685552","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
