- More about Interpreter Training in Context: European and Chinese Models Reconsidered
This book explores the need for responsive theoretical training models in interpreting education, particularly in the Chinese context. It proposes a new curriculum that incorporates a four-step approach to consecutive interpreting courses, drawing from the theoretical study of context in foreign language classrooms. The book is intended for scholars, graduate students, and practitioners in translation and interpreting, applied linguistics, and foreign language education.

This book delves into an essential yet understudied aspect of interpreting education: the responsiveness of theoretical training models to contextual factors. To achieve this, it employs the linguistic concept of 'context' in interpreting studies by examining practices in representative (conference) interpreting training programs in Europe and China. After providing an overview of interpreter training programs, the author emphasizes 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 landscape. Drawing upon the theoretical study of context in foreign language classrooms proposed by linguists such as Halliday and Hasan (1993), Kramsch (1993), and others, the author subsequently constructs a new curriculum, consisting of a four-step approach to consecutive interpreting courses in the Chinese context. The rationale for this approach is grounded in the overall design of context, considering the four dimensions within a teaching-learning environment.
This book is designed for scholars and graduate students interested in translation and interpreting, applied linguistics, and foreign language education. It serves as a valuable practical guide for developing (university-level) translation and interpreting programs.
