ENHANCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERPRETATION PRACTICE THROUGH GROUP PRESENTATION

Abstract

Translation can be considered the fifth special skill - an advanced skill together with four skills. Thus, improving and practicing this skill plays a crucial part in teaching translation and interpretation majors. Up to now, not many studies have been carried out on enhancing interpretation practice through making group presentations. This article, as a result of research conducted during 8 weeks in the 2nd term (2023-2024), shows learners’ improvement in vocabulary and expression, together with equivalence and using body language in interpretation practice. The method mainly relies on qualitative methods, including the teacher’s classroom observation, note-taking, and learners’ surveys. The findings are expected to enrich teaching methodology for those who are in charge of interpretation courses in training English majors at universities.
