The Study of Difficulties and Strategies in Online Class Interpreting under the Effort Model

The outbreak of COVID-19 has changed the teaching model of international education. In order to ensure that education can be carried out as scheduled, some transnational courses have to be taken online. This paper begins with a brief review of related studies on remote interpreting and class interpreting. Based on the Effort Model proposed by Daniel Gile, this paper analyzes the interpreting difficulties which can be divided into two parts: information comprehension and language expression, including the information input difficulties caused by the long speaking turn of the speaker. Insufficient interpreting output such as information redundancy and filled pauses. In view of the difficulties mentioned above, this paper summarizes the specific strategies that the interpreter applies to deal with such problems, such as simplifying information structure, summarizing redundant information, and supplementing missing information strategies.
