European and Chinese Models Reconsidered

Beschreibung
This book addresses an important, yet under-researched domain in interpreting education: how theoretical training models should be responsive to context. To do so, it applies the linguistic concept of ‘context’ to interpreting studies by investigating practices in representative (conference) interpreting training programmes in Europe and China. After presenting an overview of interpreter training programmes, the author describes the need to reassess the applicability of the well-established and widely accepted model of interpreting from the Paris School (ESIT/AIIC model) to the Chinese interpreting training scene.
Building on the theoretical study of context in foreign language classrooms suggested by linguists like Halliday and Hasan (1993); Kramsch (1993) and others, the author subsequently constructs a new curriculum, comprising a four-step approach to consecutive interpreting courses in the Chinese context. The rationale for such an approach is justified in accordance with the overall design of context, taking into account the four dimensions in a teaching–learning environment.
This book is intended for scholars and graduate students who are interested in translation and interpreting, applied linguistics as well as foreign language education. It also serves as a practical guide for developing (university-level) translation and interpreting programmes.This book addresses an important, yet under-researched domain in interpreting education: how theoretical training models should be responsive to context.

“Interpreter Training in Context: European and Chinese Models Reconsidered is a worthy addition to an important and highly relevant topic. Given its focus, a key part of the work’s audience will naturally be interpreter trainers working in China and/or with Mandarin Chinese … . the volume successfully blends theoretical and practical aspects in an insightful manner, with the clear potential to play an influential role in interpreter training in the Chinese context.” (Antony Hoyte-West, Studies in Comparative Education, Vol. 43 (1), 2022)
