Abstract
One area that remains problematic among students whose major is Translation and Interpreting in English is the ability to understand and deal with basic and necessary concepts in the field of banking and finance in English. This article reports initial findings from a case study done with the students taking an English for Banking and Finance course in a university. The paper initially provides different views of difficulties in learning and proceeds with describing the present investigation setting. Based on qualitative inquiry, self-reports, and interviews, data are collected, and themes are drawn. Moreover, the article concludes with useful insights on the students' strategies to address their own problems and implications for possible techniques in helping students address these issues.
