Description

1. Introduction Professional interpreter training has been one of the main topics in the field of interpreting studies. In fact, it can be said that an initial impetus for interpreting research derived from educators' need for a systematic understanding of interpreting phenomena and effective teaching methods (e.g. Gile, 2000; Pochhacker, 2004; Sawyer, 2004). Against the backdrop of an increasing number of interpreter training programs in higher education, especially in China (Binhua and Lei, 2009), and the professionalisation of community interpreters (e.g. Wadensjo, et al., 2007), there is a growing body of work in recent years centering on interpreter training issues such as curriculum, aptitude, assessment and teaching methods. This trend is also evidenced by new academic journals (The interpreter and translator trainer and The international journal of interpreter education) and a number of conferences and seminars dedicated to interpreter (and translator) education. Once considered abundant in experience-based descriptions and deficient in systematic approach (Pochhacker, 2004, p.177), research into interpreter education is now increasingly interdisciplinary and grounded in theory-backed, rigorous investigation. One of the scholars who has been leading these efforts is Moser-Mercer (e.g. 2000, 2007, 2008), who primarily draws on cognitive psychology and socio-constructive approaches. Of recent note is the emerging research, chiefly in Asian language contexts, that applies theories and methods developed in the field of language teaching (e.g. Lee, 2008; Chen, 2009).
