Interpreting is a Language Skill

Interpreting is a language skill that a student can acquire consciously or unconsciously through an intensive process of learning, training, and experiencing in a formal classroom, in a set-up situation, or in a real-life situation .In consecutive interpreting the interpreter listens to a speech while taking notes. When the speaker has finished, the interpreter stands up and delivers the speech in his or her native language. In simultaneous interpreting the listener hears the interpretation at the same time as the speech is made.

Focus of This Study

In this study the effect of teaching executive interpreting in comparison to simultaneous interpreting on vocabulary acquisition in respect of gender of the subjects was investigated. To meet the aim, sixty four Iranian EFL students (32 males and 32 females), majoring in translation English as a Foreign Language at the Arak University participated in this study. Up to this level, students are exposed to a semi-real life situation where they are listening to different English native speaker dialects through the prepared tapes/CDs and VCDs. After that one group which has written notes about their listening ,spoken based on their notes and another group spoken about what they are heard .Then on the basis of special vocabulary which both group listened ,the researchers have taken vocabulary test. By employing ,t-test ,students differed significantly in their vocabulary scores .It means students who are exposed to executive interpreting gained better score than another group. On the other hand, female had better scores in vocabulary test rather than male students.
