Abstract
THE APPLICATION OF INTERPRETATION STRATEGIES IN TEACHING ENGLISH AS FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Interpretation is the act of explaining, reframing, or otherwise showing person’s own understanding of something. Interpretation enables effective communication between people all across the world. It reflects culture, society, and beliefs.
The major advantage of language interpretation is comprehension. The ultimate purpose of language interpretation is to bridge linguistic differences. It builds a bridge that smooths out any potential friction between skills such as speaking, listening and promotes mutual comprehension.
Interpretation is a language skill that a student can acquire consciously or unconsciously through an intensive process of learning, training, and experiencing in a formal classroom, in a set- up situation, or in a real-life situation.
The three basic interpretation modes are simultaneous interpretation, consecutive interpretation, and whispered interpretation.
The paper aims at finding out the strategies of interpretation that are effective in the class of English as a foreign language.
