Distance interpreting and training: a survey

Diplôme Master Distance interpreting and training: a survey eng 2025 author Ramal Valverde Pedro 409816 director Seeber Kilian 0000-0002-7903-6246 513613 Département d'interprétation (INT) Distance Interpreting (DI) has gained momentum and become a permanent feature of the Conference Interpreting profession since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Even though there were already trends indicating that such a change was likely to occur, the pandemic served as a catalyst and Distance Interpreting became the daily routine for many conference interpreters. Given the suddenness of the change, many people had to adapt to the new reality at unprecedented rate. This study investigates the main challenges of DI, particularly for recent graduates, and better ways of training new generations of conference Interpreters. To this end, recent graduates of the Genevan FTI’s Master of Arts (MA) in Conference Interpreting were surveyed to get first-hand views on this matter. It must be concluded that recent graduates feel more dissatisfied with their performance when facing DI. Furthermore, they acknowledge that this training did not focus sufficiently on DI. Finally, the challenges of different DI modalities could be addressed by means of practical classes.
