计算机辅助语言学习在口译教学中的“利”与“弊”

当今社会对合格口译人员的需求日益增长。为了提高口译教学的效果,人们将计算机辅助语言学习(CALL)应用于口译教学中。CALL的应用有助于提高学生的语言能力、记忆能力、记录能力、反应能力和文化意识等,但也有其局限性,如缺乏有效的纠错能力和监督机制等。因此,将CALL融入口译教学并不意味着对传统教学方法和教师角色的摒弃。相反,必须将二者结合起来,使其互为补充、相得益彰。

The Advantage and Disadvantage of CALL into Interpreter Training

In response to an increasing demand for qualified interpreters , CALL （ computer - assisted language learning） has been applied to interpreter training with a view to improving its efficiency. The integration of CALL benefits interpreter training in that it helps improve the language ability, better the memory, enhance the note- taking skills, quicken the response and cultivate the cultural awareness of interpreters. But it also has its limitations such as the lack of supervision and error- detection mechanism. Therefore, integrating CALL into interpreter training doesn＇t mean discarding the role of teachers and traditional teaching methods. Instead,they should combine and complement each other.
