摘要

傳統口譯教學多採取學生個別練習、教師逐一指導的模式，學生儘管在同一課堂，但彼此之間的互動卻非常有限。隨著電腦科技的進步，數位教學平台所提供的教學活動工具，廣為各領域的教師使用，也為口譯教學提供新的可能性。本研究主要探討口譯教師如何結合課堂教學與MOODLE線上教學平台，建立口譯教學的線上學習社群，使學生的學習能延伸至教師與實體教室之外。研究對象為翻譯研究所逐步口譯課程1名口譯教師與13名學生，資料來源包括教師課程設計、學生在教學平台上的貼文次數與內容、期末問卷、口譯教師的觀察與自省等。研究發現，透過MOODLE教學平台建立線上學習社群效果良好，不但能提供學生於課外合作學習的機會，也可增加課堂上學生之間的互動，使口譯教學由以教師為中心的教學轉化為以學生為中心的教學。

In a traditional interpreting classroom, the interpreting trainer is often regarded as the only source of knowledge and skills, providing the training materials to be practiced and pointing out students' mistakes as they occur during the practices. This teacher-centered teaching approach is a reflection of the long tradition of training by apprenticeship in interpreting pedagogy and as a result, there is usually very little chance for interaction among students themselves in the interpreting classroom. This paper focuses on how using an online course management system to offer students opportunities for collaboration outside of class can create an online learning community. The study describes how an interpreting trainer has blended the traditional face-to-face instruction with web-based activities by designing a variety of online activities via a free on line course management system, MOODLE, in a consecutive interpretation classroom. The data sources of this study include all the postings the participants made online, students' responses to the questionnaire distributed at the end of the semester, and the instructor's observations and self-reflections towards the process of incorporating the online course management system into the curriculum. The results of the study show that blended learning, or a combination of online and face-to-face learning, can create an online learning community that extends and, often, transforms the traditional teacher-and exercise-oriented interpreting classroom.
