The current state of curriculum development in professional interpreting programs in China is explored by Wang, who emphasizes the need for a curriculum improvement model to ensure the relevance of these programs in the face of rapidly changing reality. She examines the European experience in interpreter education and discusses opportunities for China to learn from past examples and adapt them to its broader and more diverse professional context. The book adopts a curriculum studies and sociology of professions lens to examine the nature of professional interpreters and interpreting programs. Wang identifies eight stakeholders who advocate for changes in interpreting programs and six categories of competence that progress from undergraduate to graduate and lifelong learning stages. These competencies serve as curriculum goals and encapsulate the recommended changes in institutional curricula.
A case study on Chinese-English retour training is presented to demonstrate the applicability and relevance of the conceptualized model in interpreting programs. The book offers valuable insights for academics, practitioners, trainee interpreting students, and the broader interpreting community seeking to establish or reform interpreting curricula. It aims to ensure curriculum improvement that is both theoretically sound and practical, contributing to the development of skilled and competent interpreters in China and beyond.
