ポーズを利用したリピーティング練習と逐次通訳練習の効果の比較

抄録

This study compares repeating and consecutive interpreting during pauses. Participants in the repeating group and in the consecutive interpreting group practiced their respective skills. A listening test, a written test of English knowledge, a repeating test and a consecutive interpreting test were given to all participants in a pre- / post-treatment design. The study explored how the two practice methods affected the improvement of test scores and also examined the correlations between the test scores. The results showed that the repeating group improved repeating skill, while the consecutive interpreting group didn't enhance repeating skill. They also showed that consecutive interpreting could positively affect listening comprehension. Repeating had a weaker correlation with written test scores than consecutive interpreting, both pre- and post-treatment.
