ABSTRACT

This study reviewed the university foreign language majors’ satisfaction about their studies and how the interest in interpretation and translation studies affects their achievement in language study. To carry out this study, a survey was carried out with 154 university foreign language majors and the survey results were analyzed. The students basically had positive outlook on their studies if their studies are attributed positively towards employment and career development. Subsequently they were much interested in interpretation and translation courses. This trend was even more apparent among the final year students. As for the relationship between satisfaction with major studies, interest in interpretation and translation studies, grades and English Certification Scores, it was apparent that when the students are satisfied with their major with high interest in interpretation and translation studies, the results showed they tend to have better grades. The relationship between the interest in interpretation and translation studies and the foreign language students’ achievement in their studies were quite significant, but it was analyzed that it was not directly reflected on their English Certification Scores. This study showed that raising the university students’ satisfaction and motive for better achievement have positive effects on their studies and their future career development. This study also will lay a foundation for more specific and active support for career planning for individuals, universities and the whole society.
