Chapter 11
(11.1) Consider your role as
an interpreter and the responsibilities of the student for whom you are interpreting. How might you enhance motivation and affect
in your student using the theories of motivation?
As an interpreter my role for the student is communication. I am not to teach or instruct the student unless it assists our mode of communication. The only instance for which an interpreter has the ability to encourage or motivate the student is if they have a personal relationship away from the classroom. Thus, the theories of motivation cannot apply to an interpreter's workplace.
(11.2) Which theories of
motivation are most helpful and instructive for you as an interpreter?
As I've previously stated, these theories are not applicable. However, if I am interpreting in a classroom a good motivation tactic by the teacher allows my job to be more interesting. If the deaf child is interested in the course, he/she will be more interactive with the class and pay attention.
