“…As for post-editing, different authors such as Nitzke et al or Yamada have emphasized the importance of training translators in post-editing [13], [50] as it is a common practice in the professional world [51]. However, there is a lack of research on how to apply new pedagogical methodologies to introduce post-editing in translation training.…”

In the current context of sanitary crisis caused by the COVID-19, a change in the traditional education paradigms has taken place. Thus, due to the lockdown imposed in many countries -among them, Spain-the teaching-learning processes has had to be immediately adapted to an online and distance education context. This situation has led to the emergence of new educational needs at all levels of education, and higher education is not an exception. At the same time, we should not forget that the current labour market is subject to constant changes driven by globalization and the growth of new technologies, and higher education must therefore adapt to these characteristics in order to train its students. It is then necessary to explore new, innovative and disruptive teaching methodologies to meet these needs. In the case of the translation sector, new multifaceted profiles requiring a great domain of new technologies have emerged: localization, postediting and transcreation.The main objective of this paper is to explore how disruptive methodologies can be applied to higher education studies in Translation and Interpreting to support distance learning. This main objective is materialized in three specific objectives: SO1) to identify the pedagogical needs demanded by an exceptional context of sanitary crisis and distance education; SO2) to propose and describe disruptive methodologies that are adapted to distance training in Translation and Interpreting, and SO3) to define future lines of work to encourage distance learning through innovative methodologies in Translation and Interpreting.To this end, first, innovative and disruptive methodologies that can be adapted to distance and online education have been pinpointed. Second, different methodologies specifically targeted to Translation and Interpreting training have been identified. Finally, future lines of work have been outlined to apply these methodologies in the educational field and to design evaluation procedures adapted to the demands of the current sanitary, social and economic context. Our research shows that innovative and disruptive methodologies are applicable to online contexts and are a promising and necessary future line of research.

“…Like previous studies carried out by the members of the Psychology and Cultures laboratory, the present project follows an action-research methodology, which was consecrated by Lewin (1944) in order to link the experimental approach proper to social sciences with the social action programmes that arise in response to social problems. This methodology has been widely applied to teaching and, more recently, to research in translation and interpreting training (Hubscher-Davidson, 2008;Hanna, 2009;Takeda, 2010;Boéri and de Manuel Jerez, 2011;Risku, 2016;Haro-Soler and Kiraly, 2019;Rodríguez de Céspedes, 2020). Its application made it possible to interpret the dynamics that were established in the classroom from the point FITISPOS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, VOL 8, 1 (2021) DOI: https://doi.org/10.37536/FITISPos- IJ.2021.8.1.267 ISSN: 2341 of view of the actors themselves (researcher/trainer and trainees).…”

This paper reports on an action-research study with a dual purpose: (1) to design a PSI training programme adapted to the needs of the City of Québec’s public healthcare institutions, and (2) to assess its contribution to the development of trainees’ PSI competences. The course was designed adapting ÉSIT’s special regime methodology to PSI training, and delivered to a group of non-professional interpreters (N=23). The evaluation was undertaken qualitatively, through two focus groups (n=11). The data collected was submitted to content analysis and contrasted with the trainer’s action-research report. Findings reveal (1) that the special regime methodology can be applied to PSI training programmes, if combined with pedagogical approaches adjusting it to the group’s needs, and (2) that trainees’ preconceptions about PSI add up to the list of challenges of training non-professional longserving interpreters. Our concluding remarks present several recommendations on how to overcome the detected difficulties.
