| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we have developed an online courseware for English-Japanese interpretation training at university. The main module of the courseware consists of four parts: Part 1 Language Enhancement Exercises, Part 2 Introduction to Simultaneous Interpreting, Part 3 Introduction to Consecutive Interpreting, and Part 4 Lectures in Interpreting and Translation Theories. The courseware is equipped with many new features including an interactive BBS where students can ask questions or exchange their views with classmates, and a JAVA-based built-in voice recorder. We have also developed a stand-alone digital player/recorder, with which students can practice both simultaneous and consecutive interpreting without requiring any special equipment or classroom environment such as a CALL system. The courseware will be made available to other institutions and students learning interpreting as soon as some of the technical as well as copyright problems are cleared.
