New Vague Language (VL) workshop dates scheduled
I’m happy to say that a couple more of the people who read my article on Vague Language in the RID Views contacted me about coming out to their cities to present my vague language workshop. The two dates I recently added are September 24 in Virginia Beach, VA and October 15 in Milwaukee, WI.
Other Vague Language workshop dates include August 12 in Monmouth, OR; August 20 in Honolulu, HI; October 1 in Yuma, AZ; and November 10, 2012 in Minneapolis / St. Paul.
For all details, including times, locations, etc., see my calendar.
If you would like me to present my Vague Language workshop or any of my interpreting workshops in your city, please contact me.

Flier and Registration form for October workshops in Yuma
Here are the fliers & registration form for the Vague Language & Genre Recognition workshops I’m presenting in Yuma the first weekend of October (Oct 1st & 2nd). Both workshops will be held at the Southwest Regional Co-op, 1047 S 4th Ave Yuma AZ 85364, from 8a–3p with a one–hour lunch break. I hope to see people from both California and Arizona since Yuma is on the state line. Please pass the word so these workshops are a successful venture for the sponsor, Arizona RID, and reach the greatest number of people possible. See you there!

Vague Language workshop at Western Oregon University August 12
I will be presenting my Vague Language (VL) workshop at a silent weekend at Western Oregon University on Friday, August 12, from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. This event is sponsored by the Western Region Interpreter Education Center (WRIEC) and happens to follow the first two–week colloquium of the first cohort of the Masters in Interpreting Studies / Teaching (MAIS) at Western Oregon University. I am excited about beginning my master’s degree and teaching about vague language (VL) at this silent weekend. Please register by completing the form below and check out the tentative agenda and topic abstracts. Hope to see you there!
Early Bird registration fees available only until July 1st. Registration, tentative agenda & workshop abstracts also at http://www.wou.edu/education/sped/wriec/silent_weekend.php
From the Silent Weekend coordinator:
Greetings!
On behalf of the ASL/English Interpreting Program at Western Oregon University, the Western Region Interpreter Education Center, the Oregon Department of Education’s Educational Interpreter Subcommittee, the Regional Resource Center on Deafness, and the Oregon Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, we would like to invite you to join us for our third annual Silent Weekend, August 12-14, 2011 in Monmouth, Oregon. This weekend, conducted completely in American Sign Language (ASL), is for Deaf and hearing students, interpreters, mentors, interpreter educators, and ASL instructors.
Attendees and presenters can choose from two possible tracks – although they may participate in both – with corresponding workshops. The first is interpreter professional development, which is for working and pre-professional interpreters. The second track is for students and community members to develop their ASL skills and further learn linguistic features of the language.
Interpreters: This is an opportunity to earn up to 1.4 CEUs! If you are looking for some worthwhile workshops and a chance to sharpen your skills, then Silent Weekend is for you!
Thank you!
