Pedagogical and communicative resilience before industry 4.0 in higher education in translation and interpreting in the twenty-first century

Abstract

Industry 4.0 technological resources are tools used in everyday lives. In Higher Education, instructors need to recognize the value of these information and communication tools (ICTs) and integrate them to support teaching in any field of knowledge. In this study, the evolution of the use of technological resources in Translation & Interpreting education has been analyzed through a diachronic analysis. Taking as an example the innovative teaching macro-project Aula.Int (University of Granada), we have studied some of the most relevant technological resources that have been used to support translation training since the beginning of the twenty-first century. The ACOT model was used to determine the degree of appropriation of each information and communication resource. The results show that translation educators have proven to be resilient to the rapid emergence of technological resources, which, in many cases, have been continuously implemented to support teaching.
