Abstract:

The book presents a range of theoretical and practical approaches to the
teaching of the twin professions of interpreting and translating, covering
a variety of language pairs. All aspects of the training process are
addressed - from detailed word-level processing to student concerns with
their careers, and from the setting of examinations to the standardisation
of marking. The articles show very clearly the strengths and needs, the
potential and vision of interpreter and translator training as it exists in
countries around the world. The experience of the authors, who are all
actively engaged in training interpreters and translators, demonstrates the
innovative, practical and reflective approaches which are proving
invaluable in the formation of the next generation of professional
translators and interpreters. While many of them are being trained in
universities, they are being prepared for a life in the real world of
business and politics through the use of authentic texts and tools and
up-to-date methodology.

-----------------------------------------------------------
This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Space Fund 
Drive 2010 and join us for a great journey!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2010/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit: 
http://linguistlist.org/donation/

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
