  • ABSTRACT
    Whether interpreters’ notes should be taken in the source language (SL) or the target language (TL) during consecutive interpreting note-taking remains a controversial issue and this issue lies at the heart of this study. This study attempts to answer the following research questions: (1) Do the participants use SL or TL in CI note-taking?; (2) Do the participants use English exclusively as one possible option in their language choice?; (3) Do the participants use their A-language (native language) or B-language (foreign language)?; and (4) What are the participants’ perceptions governing their language choice in CI note-taking?
    Data was collected from quantitative and qualitative analysis of participants’ note language choices based on their consecutive interpretation note-taking sheets, post-implementation questionnaire, and semi-structured open-ended interviews. Three Russian, three Taiwanese, and two Indonesian students participated in the study. Traditional categories of SL, TL and two categories of A and B-language as proposed by Dam (2004b) were applied to investigate the students’ preferences regarding the choice of language in note-taking.
    The results of the study showed that participants prefer to use SL in consecutive interpreting note-taking regardless of the interpreting direction. Notes taken in TL within-and-between subject analysis are only 14%; whereas, notes taken in SL are 85.7% for all word-based notes. For notes taken in A and B-languages, the SL ranges between 73.3% (A=SL) and 92.7% (B=SL) in the final results. English as an alternative choice for note-taking was found to be strong in English into A-language interpretation, which took up 93.4% percent; but was found to be weak, 6%, in A-language into English interpretation. Furthermore, participants claimed that the choice of language in CI note-taking more likely depends on personal English proficiency and note-taking skills. Thus, more training on note-taking in consecutive interpretation for further self-development is needed.
