Abstract

To cultivate better sign language interpreters and improve the Chinese sign language interpretation profession, the paper compares the curriculum design, test system, certification system and employment situation of Chinese and American sign language interpretation majors. The results suggest that more Chinese universities should set up sign language interpretation major in the undergraduate period, the curriculum of sign language interpretation specialty in China should increase interpretation related courses, and the government should provide special funds for the training and employment of sign language interpreters.
