Abstract

This research aimed to find out the accuracy of students' simultaneous interpretation using the NER model and the types of errors the students made in simultaneous interpretations as found by the NER model. This research used a quantitative descriptive design. The study participants were 18 English Education students in Universitas Negeri Padang, especially batch 2021, who had already taken the Interpreting course. Documentation was employed as the primary technique for data collection. The findings of this research indicate that students' simultaneous interpretation in the interpretation course at the English Department of Universitas Negeri Padang was less accurate. The study also identified different types of errors made by students in simultaneous interpretation, including serious, standard and minor errors, grouped into recognition and edition errors. The result shows that students made recognition errors more frequently, reflecting a lack of understanding in recognizing important information directly.
