  3. 1 About Interpretation Learning Module Interpretation Learning Module

  4. Background • Experience of teaching interpretation • Interpretation curriculum development for military linguists at Defense Language Institute in 2009

  5. Misunderstanding about interpretation

  6. Problem • Interpretation practice requires practice partner. • Shy learners avoid practicing with people.

  7. Solution! Alternative to human practice partner. Benefits shy learners. Useful teaching resources to DLI instructors. I am shy……

  8. What is interpretation learning module about? • Help learners acquire basic skills for interpreting • Memory Retention Skill • Paraphrasing Skill • Note-taking Skill • Plus • Basics of Interpreting

  9. Target Audience • Beginner interpretation trainees • (DLI military linguists)

  10. Instructional Theory Gaine’s 9 Events of Learning + Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction • Demonstration followed by exercise items • Scaffolding

  11. 2 Demonstration of Interpretation Learning Module Interpretation Learning Module

  12. Assessment Interpretation Learning Module

  13. Assessment Method Six prospective learners Observation Online survey Pre- &post-tests

  14. Post-test passage • Trapped Chilean Miners (209 words) • After more than two months trapped underground in a collapsed mine, 33 Chilean miners were pulled to safety. The men were buried alive in a copper-and-gold mine 2,000 feet below ground in northern Chile. They spent 69 days mostly in a dark, small space—about the size of a one-room apartment—with temperatures around 90°F. So how did they survive the difficult conditions? • The first couple of weeks were reportedly the most challenging for the trapped miners. During this time, the miners had to survive on very limited supplies. They had only enough food to last two days. Each miner allowed himself two spoonfuls of tuna, half a cookie, and half a glass of milk every two days. It was not until 17 days after the cave-in on August 5 that the group made contact with rescuers on the outside. • On August 22, rescuers above ground discovered the men. They broke through the ceiling of the miners' shelter with a long, narrow drill. The miners attached a message to send back to the rescuers, letting them know they were all alive. Soon after, the rescuers began sending the miners supplies through narrow plastic tubes. These items included camping cots, flashlights, food and water, clothing, and medicine. Pre-test passageSan Bruno Gas Explosion (211 words)A huge PG&E gas line explosion and fire rocked San Bruno Thursday night around 6 pm PST destroying at least 55 homes and damaging dozens of others. The death toll stood at 4 Friday evening, with 52 people, including 4 firefighters, treated for smoke inhalation and burn wounds. The most critical were taken to the premier burn center in the Bay Area. Officials did not release victims' names. However, Agustin Macedo of San Francisco told the Associated Press his 44-year-old daughter and his 7-year-old granddaughter were killed. The explosion happened near Skyline Boulevard and San Bruno Avenue. A huge crater was left at the initial explosion site and a huge pipe was seen nearby on a flattened street. PG&E President said a 30-inch steel gas pipe ruptured about 3 feet underground. A woman who lives in the neighborhood said the blast quickly escalated down her street, destroying one house at a time in quick succession. She said she got out of her house with her two cars and her pets. Other neighbors said they saw the street rip apart and ran for their lives from a huge wall of flames. The explosion was followed by a hail of asphalt falling from the sky as the pipe line ripped through the street.
