Challenges and Strategies in Simultaneous Interpreting: A Case Study of Jadara University Students

This study aims to ascertain the perceptions of Jadara University students about simultaneous interpreting and to discuss how faculty members might assist students in improving their performance in this challenging task. A survey was conducted involving 360 students. The study revealed that students' performance and skill acquisition are influenced by factors such as their time management capabilities, language processing speed, familiarity with industry-specific terminology, and self-confidence. The research proposed certain measures to address these issues, including enhancing vocabulary acquisition in other languages, engaging in foreign language practice, participating in role-playing, and collaborating with professional translation services. The results demonstrated the significance of integrating structured organizational sessions and practical training with personalized academic tutoring. This approach not only links academic concepts with practical application but also prepares students for real-world interpretation scenarios, therefore advancing the field of interpretation education. This research demonstrates the significance of experience as a crucial element in assisting students in addressing academic challenges. Students with more knowledge are more predisposed to embrace novel learning methods. These programs may facilitate the training of a new generation of interpreters adept at addressing market challenges. The research indicates that trainer feedback is a crucial instrument for enhancing performance, since it enables students to evaluate their work and identify their strengths and weaknesses.
