English Abstract
This study aimed to investigate both the problems professional Jordanian interpreters encounter and the strategies they employ when exposed to interpreting from English into Arabic.
Furthermore, it attempted to make some suggestions and recommendations in this regard.
Three real-time interpreting sessions were carried out; the first was carried out under the telecast interpreting condition, the second and third were carried out under the conference interpreting condition.
These sessions served to detect the strategies and a survey questionnaire was developed to explore the problems.
To achieve these goals, the researcher recorded the interpreting of eight interpreters and elicited the responses of fifteen participants through asking them to fill out a questionnaire.
The results of the study revealed different types of strategies; skipping, over-generalization, substitution, addition, condensing and approximation.
Less frequent strategies were also detected; borrowing and explicitation.
The study showed that the nature of simultaneous interpreting involved various difficulties; these included speed of delivery, working memory, processing direction, specialized terminology, gender and number, accents differentiation, noise, prior knowledge and non-visibility of the speaker.
It also recommended that interpreters should have both linguistic and nonlinguistic knowledge.
Therefore, student interpreters should acquire knowledge, receive intensive training programs and have the opportunity to practice real-life interpreting.
Moreover, the study concluded with the need for further research to fully understand the phenomenon of simultaneous interpreting.
