Teaching Translation is the most comprehensive and theoretically informed overview of current translation teaching. Contributions from leading figures in translation studies are preceded by a substantial introduction by Lawrence Venuti. 25 incisive chapters cover: certificate and degree programs; teaching translation practices; studying translation theory, history, and practice; resources. The chapters describe long-standing programs and courses in the US, Canada, the UK and Spain, and present exemplary models for teaching that can be replicated or adapted in other institutions. A list of sample course/module syllabi is also available on the Routledge Translation Studies Portal.
