Hey! Well, I got an email from Gallaudet University which stated that I've been extended an invitation to go to the ASL Proficiency Interview and the Bach. of Interpretation Interview. Not every applicant gets this far! Ahhh! I'm excited and scared at the same time! I need to try to find a way to practice or something. But how to practice? God, I dunno. I'm too excited right now to care. :)
Here is the explanation of the ASLPI from Gallaudet's website:
"The American Sign Language Proficiency Interview (ASLPI) is a holistic language evaluation used to determine global ASL proficiency. The basic precept in this type of evaluation is to find out through a face-to-face interview what an individual can do with the target language at a given point in time. Language proficiency evaluation was originally developed by the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) of the US Department of State and has been used by the government for decades. Adaptations to the language proficiency evaluation were made with respect to ASL and the ASLPI was born. The ASLPI is currently utilized by agencies, schools, universities, programs and employers....the ASLPI is a video recorded evaluation which will determine the applicant's overall ASL proficiency. Ratings are awarded on a scale from 0-5."
The BAI Interview is a panel of instructors and other personnel who ask questions and so forth to make a selection amongst the hearing applicants to decide who is accepted and who isn't. Gulp!
They emailed me a list of dates and times for the interviews, and I picked April 26th from 1-4:30pm to have both the ASLPI and the BAI Interview. Wish me luck!
