A Social Constructivist Approach to Translator Education: Empowerment from Theory to Practice


Add your own review!

Overview

This text explains the teaching and aquisition of translated-related skills and knowledge. It uses a social-constructivist theory to critique traditional teaching methods of translator education and proposes alternatives to the teacher-based method. The book provides examples from the authors own classroom experience in translator education and foreign language teaching. Classroom case studies are used to illustrate the authors method, such as, introductory courses in translation studies, project based translation practice courses and naturalistic foreign language learning classes for student translators. The book is aimed at translator educators and program administrators, but should be of interest to anyone interested in translation.
