ABSTRACT

This paper investigates interpreting classroom anxiety in student interpreters. Anxiety has been experienced by professional interpreters and has been found to have impacted their performance. It is also one of the key variables that affect student interpreters. Although anxiety has been studied extensively in other disciplines, there are only a few studies conducted on student interpreters’ anxiety. Thus, the present study aims to investigate student interpreters’ anxiety, with a focus on classroom anxiety. For the purpose of the study, an interpreting classroom anxiety scale was designed and administered on 26 student interpreters at a graduate level. The survey result indicates that student interpreters are most concerned of their interpreting skills. Furthermore, their anxiety level differs depending on their learning stages. It is hoped that this study contribute to the development of a training model that aims at reducing student anxiety.
