Abstract

The Indian English accent has posed tremendous challenges to both veteran and novice simultaneous interpreters. This paper probes into students’ utilization of social media with AI-driven recommendations in their effort to get familiar with the Indian English accent and the impact of such a practice on the fluency and accuracy of simultaneous interpreting. An 18-week semester’s AI-powered autonomous learning was documented with reflection journals. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and processed with SPSS based on the students’ learning records, an online questionnaire and interviews. The findings showed that exposure to the Indian English accent for 18 weeks via social media could bring about positive changes to the students’ attitudes towards the Indian accent and form accent familiarity advantage, thus enhancing the fluency and accuracy of their simultaneous interpreting performance.
