The Study On The Model Of Equivalent Thinking Response In Interpreting Instruction

With the Chinese opening policy growing further, the demand for the special interpreting talents will become higher. The characteristics of interpreting reality, instance and interaction demand interpreters to own better psychological quality and excellent skills and techniques in interpreting practice. The training of interpreting talents needs efficient interpreting instruction. Although the research of interpreting has been going on in our country for several decades and a great number of interpreting teaching theories and teaching approaches also have been studied in the world, the problems still exist in practical interpreting instructions.From the present situation of interpreting instruction, the thesis displays the ideas and findings of interpreting researches nowadays and points out the main problems and feasible solutions. Based on the theory on the intercommunicative dynamic equivalence from Nida, the philosophic viewpoint on the language learning and thought from Bickerton and other relevant theories and rules, the author explores a new kind of interpreting teaching approach—The model of equivalent thinking response. The model focuses on the coordinate trainings of thinking process and performing process and it emphasizes the functional equivalence in thinking response; and by the practical investigation and teaching experiment, the model turns out useful and feasible to improve the comprehensive interpreting abilities of students. According to the existing problems from the present interpreting practical teaching, the paper puts forward three research aims: (1) The study puts forward the importance of training the equivalent skills between thinking process and performing process in interpreting teaching; (2) The study shows the characteristics and advantages of interpreting teaching model of equivalent thinking response; (3) The study analyzes the practical feasibility of interpreting equivalent thinking response model.In the paper, the quantitative and qualitative research will be used. The research includes questionnaire investigation and practical teaching experiment. The questionnaire subjects involve two hundred and forty junior students in four universities, that is, Jiangxi Normal University, Jiangxi Financial University, Nanchang University and Jiangxi Blue Sky College. The experiment is conducted in Jiangxi Blue Sky University. The experimental subjects come from junior students who are majored in business English. The period is set to be sixteen weeks, and in the course of interpreting teaching, the model of equivalent thinking response is used in the experimental class; the controlled class receives the input of the traditional model. By the contrast of pre-post test, individual's interviews, questionnaire and experiment, using SPSS13.0 T-value and descriptive data statistic analysis, the following conclusions are drawn: the main factors affecting the efficiency of interpreting instruction are the teaching methods , teaching contents and teaching class designs; in the interpreting class there still exist deficient practical teaching activities and skills training with simulating settings, making students lack the consistence in response time and speed for equivalent thinking and performing; the model of equivalent thinking response is beneficial to promote interpreting class and improve students'comprehensive interpreting abilities.The results bear much enlightenment and direction for the students learning interpreting course. Meanwhile, some feasible teaching suggestions are given to interpreting teachers, such as it emphasizes the trainings of thinking response and functional equivalence; directs practical simulations with techniques themes; beautifies interactive designs and so on. However, limitations of the present exploring study still exist for the scope of the experiment and other factors, such as the differences of teaching districts, teaching subjects and teaching conditions and surroundings. Lots of improvements and further researches will be essential in the future.
