Summary/Abstract: Over the last few years, new information and communication technologies have been a breeding ground for development and exploitation. Such a progress couldn’t be indifferent to Translation Studies, which are the ultimate field of linguistic and cultural contact. Within the framework of a joint experimental project, the authors carried out a distant, simultaneous, translation teaching course through videoconferencing between two teachers and two classes located at different places: Corfu and Montpellier. The results of this co-teaching project met their expectations and proved the pedagogical benefits of audiovisual technologies, as an innovative teaching method, but also showed its restrictions and constraints.
