Abstract
Short – term memory (STM) is extremely crucial in an interpreter’s task since the message must be conveyed quickly from the source language to the target language. Hence, the interpreter must have high concentration once he gets involved in the interpreting process. STM is often ignored in interpreting modules since students are required to self – practice at home and other necessary skills are more focused. However, several language schools still embed STM activities in the course due to students’ need analysis. This paper aims at evaluating STM training in interpreting subject at a university in Viet Nam. Besides, the students’ perception of STM is also investigated. To collect data for analysis, the researcher used semi-structure interviews with 20 students at intermediate and advanced levels in English. The results of the study indicated that STM had positive effects on students’ interpretation and the majority of students showed their positive attitudes toward STM training.
