Abstract: Interpreting is a complex task that involves linguistic, cognitive, and cultural dimensions. Interpreting is a skill that extends beyond linguistic proficiency to encompass cultural awareness, rhetorical understanding, and emotional intelligence. Interpreters must not only translate words but also capture the speaker’s intent, tone, and emotions while maintaining accuracy and neutrality. In this paper, the challenges that novice interpreters encounter, particularly in political discourse, academic and professional training, in the framework of simultaneous interpretation, are explored. A questionnaire was administered to novice interpreters, and their views concerning their expectations were recorded. In theory and practice, there have been multiple approaches in order to enhance novice interpreters’ training according to the findings and conclusions of extensive research in psychological, linguistics, sociolinguistics, and pragmatics dimensions of interpreting. In this study, we shed light on challenges in interpreting studies as perceived by students and graduates.
