Abstract
This article explores self-assessment of student interpreters by using a CAIT online platform. The aim of this study is to investigate the effective supporting ways of online platform in the development of self-assessment skills for student interpreters. The results indicate that the conceptual, procedural and tactical ways take an active role of improving students’ self-assessment skills. While practicing interpreting, these methods can help student interpreters better understand interpreting standards and be aware of them so as to improve their self-assessment competency. The study explores that the student self-assessment development process with the CAIT platform is from a way of disoriented to relieved, and then to natural. Results also show that teacher’s feedback on students’ self-assessment takes an important role in guiding students’ training and help them keep training. The findings show some inspirations for both teachers and learning designers. Firstly, conceptual, procedural and strategic supporting ways can be put into E-learning platform to improve students’ self-assessment ability of interpreting. But they should be well designed into different places. Secondly, some positive ways should be placed at the beginning of CAIT E-learning self-assessment. Thirdly, teacher should guide students’ self-assessment in this online interpreting practice and give feedback to students’ self-assessment so as to motivate their self-assessment performance.
