Interpreting Synergism Based Upon Visual-Audio-Oral Course of EAP： A Case of CI Between English and Chinese

On the basis of the theory of relevance and transfer, this study puts forward interpreting operation synergism through positive transfer from Visual-Audio-Oral Course of EAP to E-C and C-E interpreting. In the way of consecutive interpreting, the researcher has done the experiments to 147 undergraduate interpreters of non-English majors in five classes taught by him in the second semester from 2014 to 2015. The experimental results show that listening of EAP has the functions of relevance and holistic presupposition to student interpreters, whose audio nerves have been activated once more while listening to SL （source language） information. At this moment, the function of transferring SL information as input occurs. And further, speaking of EAP also has the functions of relevance and holistic presupposition to student interpreters, whose oral nerves have been activated once more while encoding and expressing in TL （target language）. At this moment the results of transferring information as TL output are prominent. Therefore, Visual-Audio-Oral Course of EAP has the effect of relevance, transfer and presupposition to student interpreters＇ interpreting operation in China.

Content-based instruction in tertiary education in China

自20世纪八十年代以来,以专业内容为基础的英语语言教学在欧美大陆和一些非洲国家逐渐流行,并成为英语语言教学的主要方法。在中国和其他一些亚洲国家,专业与英语结合的教学方式也得到广泛应用。但是,许多教师和研究人员对于该教学法在实践中存在的多种方式,以及这些方式之间的关系还存在不解或者误解。通过对以专业内容为基础的英语教学与国内流行的二语教学,专业应用研究与双语教学之间的区别与联系,分析了以专业内容为基础的英语教学在中国高等教育中的优势以及该教学法中教师,特别是语言教师所起的作用。
