Workshop Description:

Everyone talks about processing time and it has been said it should be 3 to 5 seconds... but what is it? How do you determine if it should be three seconds or five seconds? What exactly happens in those seconds and how do you make them work for you?

Dale presents a visual Model describing in concrete terms the abstract theory of “processing time.” This Model will allow real world discussion of the stages of this vital component of interpreting and provide a tool for describing and giving feedback beyond “you need to adjust your processing time” or “how is my processing time?”

Dale’s model removes processing time from the realm of counting seconds, creating a physical visualization to support discussion and critique. 

Educational Objectives:

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • explain the visual model of the concept of Processing Time
  • analyze the concepts in the Processing Time Model using sample texts
  • articulate their analysis of the Processing Time Model
