Abstract:

This collection of essays by contemporary translation scholars and
trainers addresses what is a critically important, though often
neglected, field within translation studies: translation pedagogy. The
contributors explore some of the current influences on translator
training from both inside and outside the academy, such as: trends in
foreign language pedagogy, teaching methods adapted from various
applied disciplines, changes in the rapidly-expanding language
industry, and new technologies developed for use both in the classroom
and the workplace.

These various influences challenge educators to re-conceptualize the
translator's craft within an increasingly specialized and computerized
profession and encourage them to address changing student needs with
new pedagogical initiatives. Combining theory and practice, the
contributors offer discussion of pedagogical models as well as
practical advice and sample lessons, making this volume a unique
contribution to the field of translation pedagogy.
