Abstract

Cooperative learning events is a useful supplement to traditional teaching methods in interpreter training. This study seeks to design effective cooperative learning events which could give trainees more opportunities for interpreting practice. Five key elements should be considered when designing cooperation among students. Teachers' instruction and assessment play an important role in promoting cooperation among students. Strategies to increase students' motivation include providing constructive feedback, generating learner autonomy and utilizing positive affect.
