Teaching Interpreting and Live Subtitling : Contexts, Modes and Technologies

Teaching Interpreting and Live Subtitling: Contexts, Modes and Technologies provides a cross section of multinational perspectives on teaching various dimensions of interpreting and live subtitling, both within dedicated programmes and as part of individual modules on interpreting and/or live subtitling-adjacent programmes.

Interpreting training and live subtitling training have been undergoing rapid and far-reaching transformations in recent years because of technological advances and the sweeping shifts in the contexts within which they seek to mediate, ultimately bringing about new modes. This volume covers the broad spectrum of interpreting and live subtitling trainings and discusses the possibility of how a more unified approach to training for live subtitlers and interpreters could lead to a future where the topics merge to become a single, complementary specialised stream of training that brings live subtitling equally into the forefront of the translation teaching field.

The book provides an overview of the role played by technology in interpreting in general and uses up-to-date perspectives and research to ensure that interpreting and live subtitling training remains robust and resilient far into the 21st century. It will be of particular interest to professionals, scholars and teachers of translation studies and interpreting studies.
