About the Series
What is the Effective Interpreting Series?
A ten-volume curriculum by Carol J. Patrie, Ph.D., organized into two parallel tracks — ASL and English — that build progressively from language skills through cognitive processing, translation, and consecutive interpreting up to simultaneous interpreting.
Every volume pairs the text with naturally occurring discourse video, study questions, and The Five-Step Follow Up — a unique self-analysis approach that reinforces each skill.
Used in interpreter education programs nationwide and ideal for independent study. Working interpreters can earn up to 2 CEUs per volume for RID Certification Maintenance.
