EFFECTIVENESS OF CONDITIONED EMOTIONAL RESPONSE INTERVENTION ON ENGLISH TRANSLATION ABILITY OF COLLEGE STUDENTS
Abstract
English translation is an important skill of English learners. However, many college students in China have difficulties in translating Chinese text into English. This paper aims to explore the effectiveness of conditional emotional response intervention on English translation ability of college students. A total of 80 subjects were selected by the random number table method, and evenly divided into two groups. One of the groups received conditional emotional response intervention in the teaching of English translation. All the subjects were evaluated by the English learning psychological factor scale, the English learning anxiety scale, and a test paper on the general self-efficacy and translation ability. After the experiments, the subjects were subjected to a telephone interview. The experimental data were analysed using SPSS 22.0. The results show that the subjects receiving conditional emotional response intervention successfully passed the English translation test; the intervention effect lasted for a long time and significantly improved the learning efficiency. The research findings shed new light on the application of psychological techniques in English learning at colleges.
