Abstract
In decades of interpreting training experience, some major problems were always noticed by the author: (1) Lack of made-to-measure materials; (2) fewer contact hours and insufficient practice hours; (3) lack of autonomous learning environment. In view of this, this article proposes an innovative pedagogy for interpreting training which is conducted on the basis of a digital interpreting laboratory incorporating various functions including providing made-to-measure training materials, real-world-like interpreting situations and autonomous learning environment. The design of the digital technology-based platform and application of it in interpreting training is demonstrated.
