"Video analysis: A new approach towards consecutive interpreting didactics"

Abstract

The ECTS credit system together with the rapid development of new technologies favor a change in teaching methodologies allowing students greater autonomy and responsibility. In a Consecutive Interpretation course, students demand more guided activities that allow them to develop the necessary skills for their work as interpreters. In recent years, video analysis has emerged as a valuable tool in the field of education. For this reason, a didactic proposal has been designed in which this resource is combined with a learning diary that allows students to develop metacognition, with the aim of improving their observation, analysis and reflection skills and, consequently, controlling their own learning.
