The new CASLI Generalist Knowledge Exam has two parts. This workshop will focus on the first part of the exam which consists of multiple choice questions. Using the preparation guide and list of recommended readings from CASLI (the Center for the Assessment of Sign Language Interpreters), we will ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the testing format and how to prepare for the test. Supplemental materials including videos, articles, and practice questions will aid you in your study. Topics of instruction will include the four domains listed in CASLI’s preparation guide: pre-commitment activities, pre-encounter activities, the encounter, and post-encounter. Specific areas of emphasis will be logistics, teaming, types of consumers, types of interpreting, interpreting service models, demand-control schema, registers, and business practices.

Workshop registrants must commit to attending all sessions.
