Chao Han; Binghan Zheng; Mingqing Xie; Shirong Chen – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2024
Human raters' assessment of interpreting is a complex process. Previous researchers have mainly relied on verbal reports to examine this process. To advance our understanding, we conducted an empirical study, collecting raters' eye-movement and retrospection data in a computerised interpreting assessment in which three groups of raters (n = 35)…
