• Resumen

  • The world of interpreting in the digital era poses constant challenges for professionals and students alike, as emerging realities and developing technologies reshape certain activities. For this reason, this paper presents a didactic proposal in a simultaneous interpreting module for undergraduate students. A lesson plan is designed based on a mock congress, structured in two sessions, in which a series of technological tools are used: the VIP II system, two AI tools (summary generator and speech-to-text software), and the corpus management software Sketch Engine. The aim of this didactic proposal is to test the effectiveness of these tools in a sequence of activities that are planned to prepare the student for an interpreting assignment. Finally, several conclusions are drawn on the integration of these technologies into the students’ workflow and the need to incorporate them into the subject’s syllabus. This proposal also contributes to assess the students’ proficiency and address their specific interpreting requirements.
