Mazzei, Cristiano & Jay-Rayon Ibrahim Aibo, Laurence. (2022). The Routledge Guide to Teaching Translation and Interpreting Online. London and New York: Routledge, pp. 153. ISBN: 978-0-367-71103-0.
Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had substantial implications on all aspects of our lives including teaching and learning. Interest in online education has grown unprecedentedly as online-only teaching was the only option for continuing education at all levels for several months when countries went into lockdown in March 2020. Higher education was not an exception. As put by Mazzei and Jay-Rayon Ibrahim Aibo (2022), due to the global pandemic, “[t]hose who had never considered teaching online “were forced” to do so, and now we have a more informed idea of the demands and realities of this type of educational space” (p. 14). The assertion is that online education is here to stay and will keep growing in a post pandemic world. Thus, I would not be wrong in saying that The Routledge Guide to Teaching Translation and Interpreting Online by Cristiano Mazzei and Laurence Jay-Rayon Ibrahim Aibo is a timely and much-needed contribution to translator and interpreter training research and practice.
