Transcription

1 Program SLO Assessment for Sign Language/Interpreter Training Students will complete the program with a comprehensive portfolio which includes job seeking tools such as a resume, letterhead and business cards, VHS/DVD performance demonstrations of interpreting and transliterating skills, and hours of volunteer supervised work experience.

8 . Stress for important words/phrases. Fluency (rhythm and rate) DEFINITIONS FOR ASL EXPRESSIVE RUBRIC

9 I. Phonology Signs should be made with the correct parameters: handshape, location, palm orientation (palm pointed the correct direction), and movement.. Handshape. Location. Palm Orientation. Movement II. Lexicon Correct sign choice for the concept. Signs based on meaning. Semantics/Conceptual Accuracy Sufficient sign vocabulary. Idiomatic Signs/Amount of Vocabulary Idiomatic signs that adult native signers would use

10 III. Fingerspelling Fingerspelling is in the right location Hand does not block mouth. Location Elbow is relatively close to side. Movement/Fluency Fingerspelling clear. Accurate Spelling Palm relatively steady Comfortable pace Fingerspell the words correctly IV. Non-manual Signals Did you show yes/no questions, wh-questions, rhetorical questions with appropriate eyebrow movements? Did you show conditionals, clearly marking the if / then phrases? Did you show topic/comments with eyebrows raised and body leaning?. Sentence types and clausal boundaries marked Did you use proper ASL mouthing (e.g. pah, mm, cs, cha, continuous, intense, etc.)?

11 . Adverbial/adjectival morphemes Did you look at the person, place, or thing you indexed? Did your eye gaze show difference in people speaking?. Appropriate Eye contact/movement V. Syntax ASL word order Topic/Comment Time Indicators VI. Use of Signing Space Use of directional verbs Use of pronominlization. Verb directionality/pronominal system Indexing. Comparison/contrast, sequence & cause/effect Comparative space

Fluency (rhythm and rate) Lack of hesitation Assessment Leaders No Assessment Leaders have been assigned Location and Semester Semester of Current Assessment: Fall 007 Campus of Assessment: El Camino College Semester of Next Planned Assessment: Fall 0 Linking Course Assessments No Course SLOs have been matched to this Program SLO REPORTING Assessment Data Provide the survey or assessment data. Out of students tested, the majority of students scored above 70% accuracy for the majority of criteria. However, two areas, use of classifiers and use of ASL syntax, were criteria which presented most difficulty. Twenty one percent of students scored below average in use of classifiers and 0& scored below average in use of syntax. Observable Patterns Summarize the patterns observed in the data. Students are able to demonstrate appropriate and competent use of ASL phonology, lexicon, and manual alphabet throughout a 5-0 minute narrative. Areas of deficiency were mrked in ASL syntax and appropriate use of classifiers. Implications and Future Directions What are the implications of the data? How should the institution as a whole or related programs act on the data? More differientation needs to take place between English syntax and ASL syntax. More work at the syntax/consecutive level should occur to clarify differences. Also, students tend to be more familiar with use of abstract classifiers. More concentration should be given to practice of real world classifier usage. Additional Attached Files No Additional Files have been attached
