“…Based on these pillars, Cho and Roger (2010) suggest the implementation of activities like role play, memory exercises or miming, all of them traditionally used in the foreign language learning class. A second option would facilitate the gradual incorporation into the interpreting class of typical anxiety-provoking experiences (e.g.…”

“…As Cho and Roger (2010) maintain, the focus on errors intensifies pre-existing anxieties related to weaknesses on particular aspects of the practice of interpreting, which diminish trainees' security and leads to poorer performance. This situation can be disconcerting for learners and can lead them to feel stuck and unable to progress in the learning process.…”

This paper focuses on two basic issues: the anxiety-generating nature of the interpreting task and the relevance of interpreter trainees' academic self-concept. The first has already been acknowledged, although not extensively researched, in several papers, and the second has only been mentioned briefly in interpreting literature. This study seeks to examine the relationship between the anxiety and academic self-concept constructs among interpreter trainees. An adapted version of the Foreign Language Anxiety Scale , the Academic Autoconcept Scale (Schmidt, Messoulam & Molina, 2008) and a background information questionnaire were used to collect data.Students' t-Test analysis results indicated that female students reported experiencing significantly higher levels of anxiety than male students. No significant gender arnaiz-castro and perez-luzardo: anxiety and academic self-concept 58 difference in self-concept levels was found. Correlation analysis results suggested, on the one hand, that younger would-be interpreters suffered from higher anxiety levels and students with higher marks tended to have lower anxiety levels; and, on the other hand, that younger students had lower self-concept levels and higher-ability students held higher self-concept levels. In addition, the results revealed that students with higher anxiety levels tended to have lower self-concept levels. Based on these findings, recommendations for interpreting pedagogy are discussed.
