商品描述

  This book explores and investigates students’ skill acquisition and learning progress in Court Interpreting. Focusing on the language combination of Mandarin Chinese and English, this research project has placed its emphases on two aspects: error analysis in court interpreting renditions and learners’ behavioral regulations in learning task engagement. With the identified frequently-occurred errors, two error taxonomies (into the two designated languages) are established. In addition, the examination of the students’ learning task engagement has shown when the students associated their learning in Court Interpreting with their improvement in language competence, many have become more intrinsically motivated in their learning of interpreting skills.
