Principles of language learning and teaching (5th ed.). An in-depth research to find out students’ perception on the use of Audacity to improve their consecutive and simultaneous interpreting skills must be conducted.īrown, H. The use of Audacity was able to help them practice consecutive and simultaneous interpreting skills.
The skills that they developed during the course were concentrating, listening, taking notes, paraphrasing, and public speaking. From the students’ reflection and Lecturer’s Notes, most students understood the phases of interpreting and some students were still confused to differentiate between consecutive and simultaneous interpreting. The research instruments were Reflection Sheet and Lecturer’s Field Notes. This research was conducted to 25 seventh-semester students taking the Interpreting class. The classroom action research aims to find out how the teaching learning process is conducted and how the students use Audacity to improve their consecutive and simultaneous interpreting skills.
To overcome this problem, the Audacity audio- recording software is used to help students practice interpreting independently and to help the lecturer to conduct interpreting tests simultaneously. The large number of students in the class leads to the small amount of time distributed to evaluate students’ interpreting effectively. In interpreting, the biggest problem is the evaluation of students’ performance in consecutive interpreting and simultaneous interpreting.
