The rapid evolution of digital technologies has transformed the landscape of interpreter training. Traditional methods of teaching simultaneous translation—once limited to face-to-face instruction, audio recordings, and paper-based exercises—are now being complemented and, in many cases, replaced by dynamic, technology-driven tools. This article examines innovative approaches to teaching simultaneous translation in the digital era, including virtual learning platforms, artificial intelligence (AI)-based feedback systems, speech analysis tools, and immersive training environments. By integrating digital resources into interpreter education, institutions can enhance accessibility, engagement, and accuracy while promoting autonomous learning and collaboration. The study concludes that the effective use of modern technologies fosters cognitive flexibility, improves skill retention, and prepares students to meet the demands of global communication in a multilingual, interconnected world.
