Abstract

Recent advancements in the field of interpreter training have seen the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly generative large-scale language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, in Taiwan. This paper examines the integration of AI in postgraduate interpreting programs in Taiwan, emphasizing the pedagogical implications for Chinese A/English B students. The core challenges in these programs revolve around enhancing English listening and speaking competencies. AI technologies, including ChatGPT, Paraphraser Online, and Google’s Speech-to-Text, are being leveraged to facilitate understanding, refine language, and enable swift cross-linguistic translation. The current study employs a mixed-methods approach, intertwining qualitative interviews with student interpreters and a quantitative analysis of performance metrics. This approach aims to discern the impact of AI on the training and proficiency of interpreters, especially regarding grammar correction, real-time feedback, and students’ learning motivation and satisfaction with AI. Preliminary findings suggest that while AI tools substantially augment the repository of speech materials and linguistic support available to trainees, they exhibit limitations in capturing language's cultural and emotional nuances. Hence, a hybridized pedagogical model that integrates the efficiency of AI with the indispensable human capacity for intuition and cultural insight is recommended in this paper. The study's 15-student cohort underwent a comparative analysis that juxtaposed original interpretations, AI-assisted interpretations, and self-assessments. The results support an instructional paradigm combining AI's capabilities with human teachers' nuanced feedback. As the demand for interpreters persists, despite burgeoning AI proficiencies, the findings reinforce the argument that the efficacy of interpreting outcomes hinges on active human mediation. The study emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to interpreter training, combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) benefits with human expertise to produce interpreters ready for the digital age's complex challenges.

Keywords: interpreter training, generative AI, Large Language Models (LLM), pedagogical implications, Hybrid Instructional Model.
