Reviews

This book offers a wealth of material for use in the translation classroom. It provides instructors with a scaffolded, corpus-based approach, designed to help students improve their textual awareness and adopt the kind of top-down processing of texts that is the mark of translation professionals. The introduction is packed with suggestions for how the book itself can be used, and is grounded in the most recent educational research. Kathryn Batchelor, UCL, UK Aimed at building students' translation proficiency and second language proficiency by developing their text awareness, this book represents a significant progress in the research on translation pedagogy. It provides a corpus-based analysis of the features of six pragmatic genres in six languages and reveals how to write or translate these genres. Hu Kaibao, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
