In the interpreting process, the interpreter encounters some listening obstacles. Through analyzing the listening problems in the task,the author has realized the weakness in interpreting. With the help of the relevance theory,the interpreter comes up with corresponding strategies, gives an analysis of the listening problems encountered in the interpreting process and makes a reflection on the interpreting in order to enhance the interpreting skills.展开更多

However, there are some problems existing in practical listening teaching and textbooks： test-centered teaching and no theories and principles provided by textbooks. In fact, what we are doing in the listening teaching is to test rather than to teach, to foster passive receivers rather than active learners, to teach blindly without theoretical guidance. This article intends to analyze these problems from a theoretical perspective and puts forward some suggestions to solve the present problems.展开更多

Therefore an EOP （English for Occupational Purposes） course is needed to improve their related skills. In the design of the course, factors, such as the course takers, overall aims, needs, length, content, materials, training modes and assessment, are taken into consideration to make the course a systematic one. Besides, the background theory and the supporting syllabus for the course are presented and the potential problems are also analyzed in the course outline.展开更多
