Routledge Introductions to Translation and Interpreting


About the Series

Routledge Introductions to Translation and Interpreting is a series of textbooks, designed to meet the need for teaching materials for translator/interpreter training. Accessible and aimed at beginning students but also useful for instructors designing and teaching courses, the series covers a broad range of topics, many of which are already core courses while others cover new directions of translator/interpreter teaching.

The series reflects the standards of the translator/interpreter training and professional practice set out by national and international competence frameworks and codes of translation/language service provision and are aimed at a global readership.

The books encourage students to reflect on how a discussed aspect of translation or interpreting is practiced in their home country and in the countries where they work or plan to work. All topics combine both practical and theoretical aspects so as to ensure a bridging of the gap between the academic and professional world and all titles include a range of pedagogical support: activities, case studies etc.
