A case study of interpretation learning strategies employed by successful interpretation learners

Abstract

This study was undertaken to find out the interpretation learning strategies employed by successful interpretation learners to achieve the completeness of interpretation. The results showed that, to achieve the completeness of interpretation, they employed knowledge-accumulation, summarization, note-taking and logical-analysis learning strategies, among which the first three learning strategies were employed by all the three subjects, which indicates that in the process of interpretation learning, they all give priority to content or meaning over form or language. The significance of this study is to enrich the existing interpretation learning strategies and provide future interpreters with some interpretation learning strategies to choose from. © 2014 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland.
