New Prospects and Perspectives for Educating Language Mediators

Revolving around the topic of innovative
translator and interpreter education, this
volume covers a wide range of pedagogical
issues, from curriculum design to trans la -
tor competence and from classroom practice
to research techniques. The authors
represent a number of countries. Their proposals
come mainly from an interpretivist
rather than an empiricist epistemological
perspective, and are sure to resonate with
educators around the world. While none of
the authors claims to have found the holy
grail of how to train translators and interpreters,
their contributions all serve as fine
examples of just how multi-facetted and
refreshing language mediation pedagogy
and research on pedagogy can be.
