1 Christine Monikowski, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Annual appraisal I. Primary area of responsibility A. Teaching During the Fall quarter, I offered Second Language Acquisition in Adults: part I. This was the second time I offered this particular workshop and I was pleased with the outcome. Participants wrote comments on their evaluations such as: really enjoyed the presentation and look forward to further discussions regarding this topic and presented information in an organized manner...what I was looking for. I also offered a new workshop, Sometimes I Have to Interpret, which was quite successful for the first time. I also taught ASL Grammar Practice, the course Dorothy Wilkins and I co-teach. We made a number of changes in that course, this third time around including creating a videotape (to compare L1 and L2 signers) and modified the requirements (based on previous evaluations). Course evaluations included comments such as, having two perspectives is essential and the information I gathered from the two instructors was invaluable and set up clear, achievable goals so we could walk away with some increment in skill in a specific area. Dorothy and I were pleased with this course. I also co-taught a Tutoring: Wallace Memorial Library with Beth Ann Bull. This course was in response to a special request from the library staff and we presented a general introduction to ASL, Deaf Culture, and offered signs specific to their area of expertise. This was an enjoyable experience and the participants in the class were extremely motivated and enthusiastic. Comments on course evaluations included, made me feel more at ease with attempting to use sign the team approach makes a huge difference, even flow of material...[got] people to participate without embarrassment of making mistakes. In addition, as a result of this class, we recommended a follow-up, special ASL I course to be offered over two quarters for the library staff. I also offered Faculty Tutoring for two individuals. One faculty member required two hours a week of drill work and classroom visitation. The other was involved in a special distance education project and I functioned as a consultant, offering suggestions for the videotape he was producing with ITV. I also had the opportunity to teach one course in the Interpreting Program: Voicing II. This was the second time I taught this course and I felt much more comfortable this time. Students gave my class an overall rating of 4.6 and gave the instructor an overall rating of 4.6, writing such comments as: very motivated, especially for 4 to 6 at night, Chris has a really great grasp on how to help the students; I love the feedback sessions; even if I felt crappy about my work I always left feeling good about MYSELF. In the Winter quarter, I taught ASL I, for the first time and it was extremely challenging. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with Sam Holcomb approximately four times during the quarter; he was extremely helpful and

2 shared his experiences with that class with me. I believe the hard work was worthwhile, as comments on the course were quite positive: if a mistake was made, she didn t make you feel like an idiot but gave you credit for trying, she made making mistakes safe, she was extremely patient with all of us beginners. I also offered my favorite workshop, The Difference Between the Right Word... This workshop requires a videotape from the participants, prior to the presentation which tends to reduce the number of participants but always seems to be a worthwhile experience for those who follow through. Their course evaluations included comments such as, ensures that everyone understands her, the videotape with feedback is very helpful, and class activities were very good. I also taught two courses in the Interpreting Program: Introduction to Interpreting and Expressive Transliteration II. It was the second time I taught Intro, and I felt much more confident (and competent) this time around. It was the first time I ve taught Translit II; fortunately, Linda Siple and Marilyn Mitchell were teaching the other two sections and the periodic discussions about the course were extremely helpful. I presented feedback to the students using a videotaped split-screen approach, an innovative approach suggested by Linda Siple, which was quite successful and I look forward to using this approach again, in an appropriate course. During the Spring quarter I offered two workshops: Second Language Acquisition in Adults, part II and The Difference Between the Right Word (both were repeats ). I also co-taught ASL Grammar Practice with Dorothy Wilkins. We had seven participants, an energetic and motivated group. At this time, course evaluations are not available but, judging from in-class feedback, people thought this class was quite helpful. In the future, Dorothy and I want to offer this course once a year, rather than twice; we would prefer twelve or fourteen people in one class, rather than six or seven in two. I also offered Faculty Tutoring to one faculty member who will be teaching a graduate course in the MSSE program this summer. We reviewed her course material, manner of presentation, and signs; this was very interesting! At this time, evaluations for the faculty/staff sign courses are not yet available. I also taught two sections of Voicing I this quarter. This is the first time I have ever taught two sections of the same course in the same quarter/semester; having the opportunity to teach eighteen students the same information is fascinating! These students were, for the most part, extremely hard-working and energetic which made my work easier. At this time, evaluations for this course are not yet available. Distance Education: Distance learning is one of the hottest topics in education circles today. During the Winter quarter, I contacted the ISC at RIT and established a VAX NOTES conference for my Transliteration class. This was my first attempt at moderating a conference, and it went quite well (even with only ten students). During the Spring quarter, I again established a VAX conference for two sections of Voicing I (eighteen total students). This time, it was a great success. Students had the opportunity to discuss issues related to interpreting, but for which we do not have time in class (e.g. Code of Ethics, the RID, etc.). Despite the extra work of moderating the list on a regular basis, I plan to continue this practice with my interpreting courses. This technique offers an added dimension that may otherwise be impossible to include in a course. It

3 enables students to practice professional discussions, with the instructor as model. B. Professional development I am quite pleased to report that I attained the Professional level of certification from ASLTA this past year. I attended a workshop entitled Opportunities in Distance Learning offered by Dr. Norman Coombs, CRTL Visiting Scholar/RIT Department of History. As a result of this workshop, I had the good fortune to develop a mentoring relationship with Norm. He has been quite supportive and helpful as I developed two distance education workshops (see Primary Area of Responsibility/Professional Development/Professional Activities, 1A III, below) and as I created VAX NOTES for my interpreting students (see Primary Area of Responsibility/Teaching, IA, above). II. Communication skill development Co-presented a workshop for the Spoken Communication Techniques and Strategies series sponsored by the Steering Committee on Communication: Varieties of Language and Communication with Barbara Ray Holcomb Attended the following ASL Lecture Series events: - Use of Addition in Sign Language Transliteration - Dr. Linda Siple - Critical Periods - Dr. Susan Fischer - How do Deaf People Become So Expressive - Dr. Marina McIntire III. Professional activities Published: Learning a Second Language as an Adult, The Endeavor, Summer Chairperson, Conference of Interpreter Trainers biennial convention in Little Rock, October Responsibilities include: coordination of Call for Papers, selection of presentations, development of actual convention schedule, planning keynote speaker, establishing a budget for my committee, etc. Paper submitted to the annual volume of the American Association of University Supervisors, Coordinators, and Directors of Foreign Language Programs: Language Learning: Policy, Practice, Performance with Donna Gustina Paper submitted to the Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education: The Impact of Classroom Communication on the Academic Achievement of Mainstream Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students with Gary Long

Winston. This four-week workshop was conducted entirely via the Internet. The goal was to explore computers and the Internet as tools for enhancing the interpreting classroom, with specific examples of classroom strategies. This workshop was sponsored by Equal Access to Software and Information (EASI), with a grant from the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE). Collaboration with Susan Fischer and Gary Long: We continue to make progress on our project, Characteristics of Successful Interpreters. We are in the middle of collecting data. Collaboration with Robert Frisina and Linda Siple on the possibilities of using a 3D video monitor to learn ASL: We spent the year solving equipment problems, creating the stimulus material, and running subjects. At this point, we are still scoring videotapes and hope to being some data analysis this summer. IV. Campus and community activities A.
