Using NICTs for Media Interpreting Training: Bringing Interpreter-Mediated TV News and Radio Interviews to the Classroom

Abstract

This paper discusses how the impact of the revolution of NICTs on interpreters' work in the media can be transposed to the interpreting classroom. This article focuses on the use of sound and video editing software by interpreters for producing pre-recorded interpreter-mediated news features for TV and live dialogue radio interpreting. The main purpose is two-fold: 1) to acknowledge the potential of NICTs for interpreter training in a practical context; and 2) to build a pedagogical model based on the pioneering practice of media outlets such as ARTE, the French-German broadcasting company, and RTVE, the Spanish public broadcaster.
