ABSTRACT: In the present multimedia
environment, the traditional teacher-lecturing or information-delivering
teaching mode is still frequently adopted, even though the flipped teaching
mode has drawn increasing attention from the scholars and teachers. Against
this backdrop, a research on the adoption of interpreting pedagogy has been
done to see the students’ preference over the traditional and the flipped teaching
mode and explore the possible reasons behind this preference. The research
findings indicate that the participants favor the flipped interpreting teaching
mode more than the traditional lecturing mode, mainly because this can save them more in-class time for interactive interpreting
activities and for more tutor’s instructions. Therefore, a mode for flipped
interpreting teaching is suggested for further experiment, covering three
modules, namely, pre-class online learning, in-class instruction and practice
and after-class tasks.
