Teaching Interpreting and Live Subtitling Contexts, Modes and Technologies

'This book is the perfect starting point to understand how language professions are changing and what the implications of these changes are.'

Claudio Fantinuoli, University of Mainz, Germany

'This is a useful resource for trainers of subtitlers and interpreters. Using data gathered via methods such as situated learning, action-research, self-reported evidence or quantitative surveys, it offers results from interpreting and respeaking training scenarios, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continuous technologisation of the profession and its related practices.'

Alina Secara, University of Vienna, Austria

'As the unique skills of simultaneous interpreters are increasingly recognised as key components of human speech-to-text services, this timely volume represents a significant step towards an integrated approach to interpreter education.'

Franz Pöchhacker, University of Vienna, Austria

'This volume sets out to explore how technological advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic have reshaped interpreting and live subtitling, highlighting their converging skill sets and shared challenges in the era of generative AI. The chapters offer a comprehensive roadmap for trainers, practitioners, and researchers, reflecting on the future of training in these dynamic fields. A valuable contribution for anyone committed to advancing the pedagogy of these disciplines in our rapidly evolving world.'

Elena Davitti, University of Surrey, UK

'Despite the overlaps between interpreting and live subtitling, academia has been somewhat slow at bringing these two areas together. This volume makes a valuable contribution to fill this gap in a way that should be relevant to researchers, trainers and professionals, while also providing much-needed empirical data and posing key questions about the role of cutting-edge technology in interpreting and live subtitling.'
