China's Standards for Translator and Interpreter Competence Assessment and China's Standards of English Language Ability Translation and Interpreting Competence Scales
A sound assessment system is crucial in identifying different levels and offering fine-grained description of professional translators and interpreters'competence.To design and develop valid competence standards are thus the fundamental step.China's Standards for Translator and Interpreter Competence Assessment and China's Standards of English Language Ability share some common grounds but they also differ in their definitions,descriptions and evaluation methods of translation and interpreting competence.By comparing the two standards in terms of research background,theoretical basis,development methods,and descriptor features,we identify future research and application areas for the standards of translation and interpreting competence,and call for further efforts in developing a common and standardized translation and interpreting competence testing and assessment system for China's learners and practitioners.
