Learning Outcome
By completing this activity, you will:
- Practice simultaneous interpreting using authentic materials at your level
- Analyze your interpreting performance through text-based comparison
- Identify strengths and areas for improvement in content coverage, meaning transfer, and word choice
- Build a habit of frequent self-assessment using AI as a reflection support tool
This activity focuses on text-based performance analysis only. It does not evaluate fluency, intonation, pronunciation, or delivery.
How to Use This Activity
This is an ongoing practice activity, not a one-time assignment.
You are encouraged to repeat it regularly (e.g. weekly) using different materials to monitor your progress over time.
Instructions
1. Choose a practice material
- Go to the curated list of authentic practice videos provided in this course.
- The list includes materials at different difficulty levels.
- Choose one video that matches your current level.
2. Perform simultaneous interpreting
- Play the selected video.
- Perform simultaneous interpreting in real time.
- Record your interpreting output:
- Audio recording is sufficient
- Video recording is optional
3. Transcribe your interpreting output
- Use TurboScribe (or a similar transcription tool) to generate a transcript of your recorded interpreting output.
- If you are not familiar with TurboScribe:
- Review this guide
- Or explore online resources to understand how the tool works
4. Transcribe the original speech
- Use TurboScribe (or the same transcription tool) to generate a transcript of the original video.
Make sure you now have:
- One transcript of the original speech
- One transcript of your interpreting output
5. Analyze with AI Tool: My SI Insight
- Go to My SI Insight by BELLI.
- Follow the guided steps to:
- Input the original language and transcript
- Input the target language and your interpreted transcript
- Review the AI-generated analysis focusing on:
- Content coverage
- Meaning and idea transfer
- Word choice and expression
- Remember: this tool supports learning and reflection. It is not a formal evaluation.
6. Personal takeaway
- After reviewing the analysis, note for yourself:
- One thing you did well
- One thing you want to improve in your next practice
- No written submission is required.
What You Will Produce
- A recorded simultaneous interpreting practice (audio or video)
- Two text transcripts (original + interpreted)
- Personal reflection for your own learning
This activity has no formal submission.Notes for Evaluator

ISTE Standards Addressed
- ISTE Standard 1: Empowered Learner
Learners use technology to monitor their performance, reflect on outcomes, and guide their own improvement through repeated practice.
- ISTE Standard 5: Computational Thinker
Learners use AI tools to analyze text-based data (original and interpreted transcripts) and draw insights about meaning transfer and content coverage.
additional notes
- This activity is designed as a repeatable self-practice workflow, not a graded assessment.
- The user interface of the AI-assisted tool (My SI Insight by BELLI) is in Vietnamese, as the platform primarily targets Vietnamese interpreters.
