Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by third and fourth year English language majors at Thang Long University in English-Vietnamese consecutive interpreting. Interpreting is inherently complex, requiring not only bilingual proficiency but also high levels of cognitive, analytical, and interpersonal skills. Through quantitative and qualitative research designs, questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were conducted with selected students to explore the difficulties they encounter, their causes, and coping strategies.
