Summary:
This volume offers a collection of original articles on the teaching of translation and interpreting, responding to the increased interest in this area not only within translation and interpreting studies but also in related fields. It contains empirical, theoretical and state-of-the-art original pieces that address issues relevant to translation and interpreting pedagogy, such as epistemology, technology, language proficiency, and pedagogical approaches (e.g., game-based, task-based). All of the contributors are researchers and educators of either translation or interpreting - or both. The volume should be of interest to researchers and teachers of translation and interpreting, second language acquisition and language for specific purposes. An introduction by the editors - both distinguished scholars in translation & interpreting pedagogy - provides the necessary context for the contributions. Originally published as a special issue of 'Translation and Interpreting Studies' 10:1 (2015), edited by Brian James Baer and Christopher D. Mellinger.
